Hi there 👋

Thanks for joining Malvern Hills Social Walks. Your next step is to book your first walk. We hope to meet you very soon.

We're a friendly bunch who simply enjoy hillwalking, chatting with friends, and meeting new people. That's it. Oh, and ducking into the local cafes and pubs.

You can look forward to a variety of walks on the Malvern Hills, usually with a coffee shop or pub stop involved too. Weekend walks are typically around 5 miles of hilly walking. Evening walks are slightly shorter (around 3 miles on the hills). Occasionally, we host all-day walks.

Most of our walkers are somewhere between mid-forties and mid-sixties, but we welcome all ages.

All our walks are hilly. That goes without saying, but it’s an important point. Expect a few steep climbs and descents every time. Please ensure you're fit enough to cope with this (we walk at a steady pace and do take the odd breather to admire the view!)

Please pay £2.50 per event you attend (please pay immediately on booking via PayPal). 100% goes towards the Meetup fee to run the group (around £400 a year). Beyond this, we donate the lot to a local charity.

We deliberately limit most of our walks to 12 places. That’s because you’ll chat with more people in a smaller group (we can prove it!). If a walk is full, try joining the wait list because sometimes places become available nearer the time.

We don’t generally accept dogs on our walks. Tried it, decided to focus on people.

We’ve currently got four walking hosts who share the weight. There’s always room for more people to get involved with the organisation, so let us know if you fancy helping out a little bit.

In the meantime, we're glad you've joined and hope to see you soon.

Bye for now 😊
