The hills in the background are the Malverns and the town of Ledbury can be made out in the middle distance. Ridge Hill represents the eastern boundary of the Woolhope Dome, an eroded anticline of older, Silurian rocks rising out of the younger Old Red Sandstone which takes up the flatter landscape in the centre of the picture. The hills around Ledbury are Silurian whereas the Malverns are made of volcanic and metamorphic rocks. Even without geological interest it's still an impressive view.
