| View of the Malvern Hills |
Continuing south through more home-grown footpaths across
the fields, we climbed a small incline for a fantastic view of the Malvern Hills.
From there it was downhill towards the main road, then onto a narrow downhill footpath.
We soon arrived at Holt Fleet, where at the end of a caravan park lies the
Wharf Inn. This freehouse is open to the public and offers great views of the
river Severn in its popular beer garden alongside three real ales. On offer
during our visit was Wye Valley Butty Bach and Fubar, golden ale from the Tiny
Rebel brewery in Newport.

But as we headed east along the Severn back towards Ombersley,
it wasn’t just the beer that was rebelling. A herd of cows, anxious to protect their calf, had just finished bathing, and it took nerves of steel to shoo them
off the footpath and into the centre of the field! Once we had edged passed, we
were soon free to enter the wood and return to the village, calling in at the
Crown and Sandys for an appropriately named beer from Prescott brewery called
Hill Climb.
