Pringle sweater in waiting! Slightly surreal golf course with grazing sheep. |
Well this was a slightly weird one. Called in on the way back from visiting family in Norfolk, and Cleeve Common is a lovely spot, with views down into Cheltenham with its racecourse, and across to the Malvern Hills. We parked next to the golf club and as we ascended we negotiated a golf course, sheep, park benches and mushrooms. The hill is also known as Cleeve Cloud.

Lifting heavy rain clouds. The view across the Vale of Evesham to the Malverns |
However, to get to the summit (330m), you bear south west, away from the views and across a somewhat scrubby looking plateau, past a car park and some transmitters and then to the rather hollow prize of a nondescript looking trig point. Having done this, we cut straight back in the direction of the golf club (lots more scenery and sunshine now), and back to the car.

Trig pillar by barb wire fence. Bit of an anti- climax after such good views on the climb up |
