Description
A distinctive ridge with expansive views.
The Malvern Hills stand out clearly from the surrounding landscape, offering views far across valleys and agricultural areas. This book features both the well-known ridges and quieter sides with meadows, orchards, and historic springs. It provides a varied selection for experiencing the area on shorter walks from Great Malvern or other nearby locations.
Fifteen walks suitable for a half-day.
The selection includes short routes with diverse content and different starting points. Worcestershire Beacon is among the well-known destinations, while other walks focus more on cultural traces and the landscape below the hills. This makes the book useful both for a first visit and for finding new excursions in an area you already know.
Maps and practical details compiled.
Ordnance Survey maps accompany the step-by-step route descriptions, with information on parking, facilities, and highlights. Images help you get an impression of the walks before you choose. The book is compact enough to carry, offering a practical alternative to more comprehensive regional guides when you primarily seek manageable excursions in this area.
Short walks with some distinct ascents.
Although the distances are modest, the ridges feature hills that should be considered based on the group’s experience and fitness. Open sections can also be exposed to weather. The guide is suitable for regular walkers who desire a clear selection of routes and wish to use the descriptions to find a suitable plan, rather than assuming all short walks have the same difficulty level.
A long tradition of hiking guides.
Cicerone has published guidebooks since 1969. The publisher emerged among climbers and mountaineers who wanted to share thorough knowledge of their routes – a tradition that still characterizes these compact books for walking, trekking, and other outdoor experiences.
