Anyone explored this area on a bike? Thinking of heading that way tomorrow. Any places of interest, good biking roads etc I shouldn't miss?

Go up there quite a bit.

Head for British Camp for an ice cream, there are some decent hairpins and twisties.  Ride all the way round the back of the ridge to West Malvern - it cuts through by a pub and the view is great.

Then ride down the A449 to Ledbury and onto either Hereford, Bromyard or Ross.  If you are heading back east ride towards Pershore, then Broadway and go up Fish Hill - hopefully the 'road works' are gone.

Thanks for that pilninggas. By "back of the ridge" do you mean the B4232 (also marked as Jubilee Drive)? British Camp - yeah, got that, reservoir halfway between Great Malvern & Ledbury. Might check out Eastnor Castle too.

yeah b4232 - it is a surprising little road.

British Camp is where the b4232 meets the A449.  There's a car park for people who want to see the ancient camp, a hotel and an ice cream stand.  The road is wooded and to the west is set of bends and a slope down  to the plains, to the east there is a complex of bends and a road going to Gt Malvern.

Plenty of routes to explore and on a good day some sensational views from high up.
