Riding the Malvern Hills

On a cold but bright afternoon in late February I found a route on Komoot that started in Greater Malvern and then climbed to the top of the Hills before riding along the ridgeline and then returning back to Malvern. As I was staying at the Balckmore Camping and Caravan Club site just outside of Malvern I added the bits to the start of the route and then set off. The route is below.

The route is classified as "Hard" in Komoot and has 600 m of climbing over the central 10km, which as you can imagine means its pretty much non stop climbing from the town to the Worcestershire Beacon at the top. Quite a lot of it is 10% or above.

The ride itself was beautiful, with stunning scenery pretty much along the entire route. I attach some of the pictures below. If you get a chance do this ride, its one I would fully intend to do again.

The trail followed the ridge line along this direction
