Bredon hill is the closest Hill to the house, and you can see it distinctive ridge wherever you go in the area. We climb it regularly from the door (although it is not for the faint hearted, a good 6 hour trek). If thats not your style you can climb it from many of the little villages near by, some easy and some a little more challenging, we can provide you with maps and advice to get you up there and enjoy the views.
