Hiking
Merbach Hill, at 1,043 feet (318 m), is a glorious place to survey Herefordshire’s landscape of patchwork farmland and rolling hills. This is an easy hill walk that rewards with superb views.
In the distant east rise the Malverns, whilst the River Wye's wildly meandering course is seen beautifully. Wales' Black Mountains are the panorama's most dramatic aspect, particularly the prominent Hay Bluff.

Mountain biking
Taking the footpath to the left (no cycling!) and walking for a few minutes you will reach the summit of Merbach Hill at a height of 318m.
From the summit you can take in a vista of views. To the South East the meandering journey of the Wye can be followed with the Malvern's in the background. To the west the imposing Welsh Black Mountains fill the landscape, with Hay Bluff taking centre stage.
