About Castle Hill

Rising above the Vale of Evesham, this 430-foot motte offers one of Worcestershire's most rewarding climbs for relatively little effort. The earthwork remains of a Norman castle crown the summit, though only grassy mounds hint at the fortress that once commanded this strategic position overlooking the River Avon. On a clear day, you'll spot the Malvern Hills to the west and the Cotswolds rolling away to the south. The climb from Pershore takes about 45 minutes through farmland and along ancient tracks - proper walking boots recommended as it can get muddy after rain. History enthusiasts will appreciate the medieval earthworks, though there's little left standing to capture children's imagination beyond the views. Families with older kids who enjoy a good walk will find it well worth the effort, particularly in spring when the surrounding orchards are in blossom. The site is always accessible and completely free, making it a cracking addition to a Worcestershire break. Several holiday parks around Bredon and the Vale of Evesham put you within easy striking distance, including Bredon View Holiday Park Estate just a few miles away. Allow a half day for the full experience including the walk up and time to appreciate the panorama from the top.
