The Malverns Offroad Cycling Maps. Two maps - 14 routes.

Developed by Ledbury cycling enthusiast Colin Palmer, in partnership with Malvern Hills AONB.

For the enthusiast, three of the routes are in and around the Suckley Hills - and these are real gems with some classic descents and climbs. Particularly challenging is the 21km Route 13 which almost immediately launches you down a rocky descent and across a sometimes boiling ford, while Patches Descent, taken later in the ride is a real beaut. In the same area, the 9km Route 12 is an outstanding aerobic ride - great for an hours evening training ride.

Or if you want something to enjoy with your partner, why not pedal the Poets Bridletrail (Route 7) a gently meandering ride close to the River Leadon.

For families, there is the Trails and Woods of Ledbury (Route 10). An opportunity to explore the Town Trail, the Leadon Linear Park and Frith Woods.

£2.99 each from bike shops, bookshops and TICs around the Malvern Hills.  Or click below to buy online.
