Assuming the OS maps to be accurate, drilling down from this lane junction above Ledbury will lead directly to the railway tunnel under the Oyster Hills.

Dist:0.2km<br/>This was once part of the coach road from Hereford to Worcester. Notice the cobbling of stones to produce a hard wearable surface.

Dist:0.2km<br/>Probably an old road leading from Ledbury climbing up Bradlow Knoll.

Dist:0.4km<br/>The railway between Hereford and Worcester passes under limestone hills east of Ledbury. This is a wooded spoil heap from its construction and there is an air vent behind the trees. Once through this chalk like rock, the engineers faced the big one, tunnelling through the hard rocks of Malvern.

Dist:0.4km<br/>A steep incline - the seat was a welcome sight.

Dist:0.4km<br/>From the footbridge, the original GWR signalbox survives, with some reasonably unobtrusive replacement double-glazing, plus two lower-quadrant semaphores (unusually, complete with finials) which have been in these positions for many years. The siding is a vestigial remnant of the station's goods depot which closed in the early 1960s. To the left of the left-hand platform, vegetation has completely overtaken the small coaling point for steam locomotives.
