Bluebells in the Suckley Hills

The Suckley Hills are a low, thin line of hills in two side-by-side ridges running south to north in the very west of Worcestershire, close by the Herefordshire border. They are is effectively a northern resurgence of the line of the ridge which forms the dramatic Malvern Hills proper to the south

The hills climb to 548 feet at their highest. The Leigh Brook cuts through to mark the southern edge of the hills, and the River Teme and it valley the northern limit.

The hills are formed of inclined limestones to give their characteristically conspicuous and steep, wooded hills and ridges.

A number of nature reserves are found amongst the hills: from north to south these are the Ravenshill Woodland Reserve, the Crews Hill Wood Reserve and the Knapp and Papermill Nature Reserve. The Worcestershire Way long-distance walking route runs over the hills.
