LOCATION: Malvern Hills, Worcestershire

DURATION: 2 Days

Enjoy a great walking experience in the Malvern Hills, a landscape known for its magnificent hills. At its highest point of 425m Worcestershire Beacon offers views as far as Wales and the Cotswolds.

 

Its famous spring water, a product of this landscape, is renowned for its purity and quality as a natural mineral water and is still bottled at the Holy Well, believed to be the oldest bottling plant in the world.

 

The Malvern Hills landscape includes not only its dramatic ridgeline with spectacular views but also ancient woodlands, traditional orchards, parks, pastures and commons. Its varied geology gives rise to a unique array of natural habitats, supporting a wide range of wildlife and species, many of them rare. A sense of remoteness, with opportunities to explore off the beaten track by day and enjoy dark skies at night, add to a sense of tranquillity. These are the ‘special qualities’ of the Malvern Hills National Landscape which make it so distinctive.

 

This is the perfect opportunity to connect with Club members whilst taking in the spectacular views of the Malvern Hills landscape.
