Looking South down the M5 towards Tewkesbury. The line of trees on the RHS follow the Roman Road south from Worcester to Gloucester. For quite some distance the two roads are coincident.

View north up the M5 motorway from the bridge at Napleton which gives access to Kempsey Common. Crookbarrow Hill, better known as Whittington Tump, with its single tree can be seen on the horizon in the centre.

Dist:0.3km<br/>The minor road (with passing places) crosses the motorway using this expensive bridge just to provide access to Kempsey Common and the old Farmer's Arms pub (now The Gurkha Knight restaurant).

Dist:0.4km<br/>Looking west with the Malvern Hills on the left. This large area of common supports sheep and ponies, which keep the grass trimmed between areas of scrub and gorse. Commoners grazing rights are managed by the local council.

Dist:0.5km<br/>Very attractive 'black and white' farmhouse situated on the north side of Kempsey Common. Good view to the north-west towards the Abberley Hills from this side of the common.

Dist:0.5km<br/>The Malvern Hills viewed from the east near the M5 motorway above the village of Kempsey. The grass in the foreground is short because it is been grown to produce lawn turf.
