Churchdown

It’s a wonderful place to visit if you enjoy stretching your legs and taking in broad vistas. A walk to the top of the hill rewards you with far-reaching views across the Severn Vale and the wider county, often reaching towards the distant Malverns on a clear day. At the summit, you’ll discover the ancient St Bartholomew's Church, a charming and historic building that has stood sentinel for centuries, offering a peaceful space to pause.

Down in the village itself, you'll find a welcoming local community with shops and amenities, making it a comfortable spot to spend some time. The many footpaths on and around the hill are perfect for exploring the natural surroundings. It’s a handy location if you’re heading between Brookfield, Bamfurlong, or Ermin Park, and you’ll find Down Hatherley, Cranham Gate, and Hucclecote Green are all just a short distance away.
