Malvern Hills walk from Great Malvern (then a town cafe)

We'll meet at the Buzzard Sculpture in Rose Bank Gardens, Great Malvern, and head up onto the hills (to the top of Worcestershire Beacon) before returning for coffee and cake/lunch in a Malvern cafe (hopefully Mac & Jacs).

Even though this starts from Malvern, it's a climb to the top.

Parking is in Great Malvern - car parks (near The Splash is good) or street parking. On a Sunday, much of the restricted street parking is open.

You'll find the Buzzard Sculpture in Rose Bank Gardens, next to the Mount Pleasant Hotel (Bellevue Terrace). WR14 4RP.

Things worth knowing

1. We’re very friendly. Come on your own and you’ll soon be chatting with others. And while we have many regular attendees, almost every walk includes first-timers too. We welcome single people, those whose partners don’t wish to walk, and couples.

2. Please arrive ahead of the start time. We typically wait for five minutes, but beyond that, we’ll start the walk.

3. Please pay when you book. We reserve the right to move you to the waiting list if you haven’t paid. And this may mean you miss out on your place if someone jumps in ahead of you.

4. As a rule, we don’t allow dogs on our walks. It’s just easier.

5. The Malvern Hills are… hilly. EVERY walk will include several steep climbs and descents, so you must have sufficient fitness to achieve this level of walking at a steady pace. While we’re not super-fast, and do stop for breaks, it’s frustrating for you and others if we keep having to wait for you. If you want more detail about a specific walk, please message us beforehand as we’re always happy to help.

6. We run this group voluntarily, just for fun. And we have a lot of it. While we aim to look after everyone, you are responsible for your own safety when walking with us.
