Redhill Holidays

Start local explores close to home by borrowing bikes from the site to pedal along country lanes or head out for a gentle walk in Badley Wood (10 minutes’ walk away). For lengthier rambles, the Malvern Hills are about 10 minutes away by car. Folk who’d like to roam on horseback can saddle up for outings from the stables at Tipton Hall (five minutes’ drive). Classical-music aficionados may recognise this area as being the stomping ground of Sir Edward Elgar: a fine day out starts at the Elgar Birthplace Museum (15 minutes’ drive) and then wends its way along the Elgar Trail, taking in statues of the composer and some of the views that inspired his stirring tunes. For further cultural outings, head to the National Trust’s Brockhampton Estate (10 minutes) or plan days out in Worcester (25 minutes) or Hereford (35 minutes). Those who favour hops over history may like to take a detour instead to the Wye Valley Brewery (15 minutes), for a tour and some bottles for later deck-based drinks.
