The Talbot, Knightwick

Highlight • Settlement

Knightwick is a small and pretty village nestled below Ankerdine Hill and within a meander of the River Teme. It is a superb base for exploring this beautiful part of the country, with the Abberley Hills ridge and the Malverns on your doorstep and within easy driving distance of the Wye Valley AONB, the Shropshire Hills AONB, and the Cotswolds AONB.

In terms of accommodation, the Talbot is a 15th-century coaching inn that serves excellent food and has rooms, perfect after a long hike.

Ankerdine Hill

Highlight • Viewpoint

Ankerdine Hill, at 489 feet (149 m), is part of the Abberley Hills ridge in the Abberley and Malvern Hills Geopark. The ridge was formed during the Silurian period and is of considerable geological significance.

The River Teme loops around the hill, surrounding it on its western, southern and eastern side, giving it superb views of the Teme Valley. It is most commonly ascended from the village of Knightwick, where the award-winning Talbot pub is a good post-hike option.
