Alfrick Loop - Malvern Hills

Distance 13.5miles Difficulty Medium Elevation Gain 1600ft

This hilly ride around the Malvern Hills has beautiful views and alternates between road and bridleways.

The ride starts and finishes at Alfrick and heads north through Ravenshill Wood up into Knightwick. Skirting the A44 it then heads back south past Brickhall Farm and around the edge of Suckley Hills.

Upon reaching Longley Green the ride continues south along a farmers track through Birchwood common before arriving at Storridge.

Rather than cycling along the busy A4103 take the road that runs parallel to the south up and over Crumpton Hill. Once this rejoins the A4104 turn left and then right up past the ‘Pick Your Own’ fruit farm at Norrest.

The final section takes you over Old Storridge Common, past the Papermill Nature Reserve but the sting in the tail - a steep, rough uphill back into Alfrick.
