steep climb out of Alderton, around the edge of fields, then up steep and rocky Byway great spot to stop and take a breath at the top. I completed on a gravel bike, but MTB would be easier

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 biggest Cotswold outlier, just short of a thousand feet high with magnificent views across the Avon and Severn valleys.

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

The folly itself actually looks like it really is an industrial tower housing mobile phone equipment, but the views are very good. Nearby is the Elephant Stone - it looks like an Elephant kneeing down. Not far from the Cotswold Stone drystone wall is the circular stone that marks the very top of Bredon Hill.

Good parking, half a dozen spaces on Woollas Hill, near Deer Park centre. Views on way up to Folly are spectacular. Good to get the climb out the way early with gentle, long descent in to Broadway.

Depending on the direction, this can either be a climb or an enjoyable downhill section of off-road singletrack shaded by trees.
