Titterstone Clee Hill from Angel Bank

This is one of my favourites in the area, it’s not super hard, but you’re legs will be feeling it given than the start of the climb is already after about 300m of elevation. If feels pretty remote at the top, with great views as a reward!

This is a weird one. The climb as featured here is only the top section of much more climbing you can do from routes to west, south and east (eg about 250 meters climbing before this climb!). The section featured here is the dramatic bit through a tortured ex-industrial scarred hillside. You can keep going past the telecommunication station domes via a gated path and bounce over the tummocky grass to the trig point and some utterly awesome views over to Wales.

You can see the giant golf ball atop Titterstone Clee from miles around, and it's well worth a detour to ride this road, which leads up to, and stops at, the radar station to which the golf ball belongs. Leaving Angel Bank just before the village of Clee Hill sets you on the single track, but not narrow, road to the summit. The surface is decent enough, taking you up past a few houses, then over a cattle grid onto the more exposed section. The steeper gradients in a couple of areas are manageable, and the reward for getting to the summit are magnificent views across Shropshire, Herfordshire and Worcestershire.
