Facility information

A magnet for contour-loving midlands-dwellers, this hill’s bewildering squid of trails when viewed on an OS map would put many off. Don’t be fooled: the summit’s a fine place indeed, offering unobstructed views into Wales.

Best route: park at SO769440 and head north

    Grand little hill this. A veritable spaghetti junction of paths, and theworld and his mother will be up there. But it's still a treat for midland and southern dwellers. I like the fact that you can pick a route thats as steep or as gentle as you want, and some paths are incredibly steep; and you can always walk from one end to the other - that leaves everyone else standing!! If you want the place to yourself, wait for a dump of snow. I first saw the Malverns after a heavy snowfall. They'll be busy, but only with sledgers. Leave them behind, and you'll have the rest of the hills to yourself!
