Next walk: Malverns, 11 September 2022
We return to the stunning Malvern Hills for our September walk. Our route is a circular walk taking in Herefordshire Beacon and Swinyard Hill.
We’ll start by walking up to the summit of Herefordshire Beacon with its Iron Age hill-fort and spectacular views.
The walk continues southward via Millenium and Hangman’s Hills, before descending via the Silurian Pass towards Castlemorton Common. The walk then climbs steeply to Swinyard Hill, with 360′ views, then back northward via Giant’s Cave to the car park.
Although the walk involves quite a bit of uphill and downhill walking, the paths are clear and in good condition, with stone steps on the steepest sections.
Please wear suitable shoes/boots and remember to bring some lunch / drinks and something to sit on.
Well-behaved dogs are also welcome.

Next walk: Woodgate Valley Country Park, 8 May 2022
This month’s walk starts from Woodgate Valley Country Park and takes us through fields, over the Lapal Canal Tunnel, past a 13th-century ruined abbey and down green lanes through an ancient woodland. It’s approximately 3 1⁄2 miles long.
The walking is generally moderate with gentle inclines. There are a lot of stiles – mostly easy ones, with a few that are a bit more challenging. There is between 5-10 minutes of road walking at the beginning and end of the walk and a couple of moderately busy roads to cross (although they will be quieter on a Sunday).
The path may be muddy in places so please wear walking boots.
About 2/3 of the way round, we will stop at the Black Horse pub in Illey for drinks, coffees and/or toilets.
The walk is suitable for dogs on leads – at the beginning, we go through a field with horses and electrified fences and there may be sheep in some of the fields later on the walk. In early May, there may still be lambs.
Contact us for details on how to go to the start of the walk.
