I'd say the best spot is at Vigo. From Junction 1 of the M42/A38 in Bromsgrove, take the Alcester Road (signposted Burcot and HM Prisons!). Then just passed the village of Burcot, you'll go under the railway bridge and just the other side on the right is a short track beside the railway. If you don't have transport it's about a mile and a half walk from the A38.

If you have got an OS map you can see public footpaths along much of the incline. I have been on both sides at different times.
