March 29, 2026, Parsons Folly on Bredon Hill

Pleasant views of Malvern and the surrounding areas from up there. The folly is ugly as sin but then it IS a folly so... yeah. Not a particularly difficult climb to get up there from either direction.

The track runs between two enclosures that belong to the Woolas Hall Deer Farm, and the collection of deer there are quite something to see and watch.

On the west side of Bredon Hill is a national nature reserve which contains some magnificent old oak trees such as this one. The reserve goes quite a long way up the hill, but beware, there is no access route from the reserve to the top of the hill.

The track from Norton Park to Bredon Hill offers fine views to the south and west, looking down the lower Avon valley to its confluence with the Severn at Tewkesbury and also across to the Malverns seen side-on.

Descending from the summit of Bredon Hill to the west you pass through Warren Wood and then an avenue of fine trees perched on the edge of the escarpment that is narrow enough to let the light in.

This track is at a decent angle so climbs quite quickly, but looking back it really does give expansive views across the Avon valley to the north.

A quite impressive rock formation that really does look like an elephant lying down.
