Walking around Malvern ...
Worcestershire Beacon - Highest point on the Malverns - The route from the car park at Wyche Cutting takes about 45 minutes at a steady pace, with views to Herefordshire for the first part and views over Malvern for the second part to the summit. The path has a good surface and is tarmac most of the way to the top so would be suitable for wheelchairs.
Herefordshire Beacon - AKA British Camp - There is a car park on A449 opposite The Malvern Hills Hotel - This is a shorter walk than the Worcestershire Beacon and takes just over 30 mins to get to the summit at a steady pace. Part of the route is stepped, and is suitable for people of all ages, although we would recommend good footwear.
