Description
Walking in a varied English cultural landscape.
Worcestershire offers rivers, canals, meadows, and hills with expansive views. Walking in Worcestershire makes it easier to experience the variety between open landscapes and historic towns. The guide can be used for a short break with day walks or as a basis for several consecutive days of hiking.
28 day walks and three longer routes.
Day walks range from approximately four to seventeen miles and provide various options depending on fitness and time. Additionally, the North Worcestershire Path, Wychavon Way, and Worcestershire Way are described. The Malvern Hills and the area’s river and canal landscapes give the walks distinct characters, from tranquil paths to more demanding days over the hills.
Choose a starting point and find experiences along the way.
Malvern, Worcester, Upton, Bewdley, Pershore, and Evesham are suitable bases with services and hiking opportunities nearby. The book combines route descriptions and maps with practical information and local background. This allows for connecting nature, history, and stays in small towns for a more varied holiday.
Who is the book suitable for?
The selection is suitable for regular walkers who wish to choose between shorter walks and longer challenges. Several routes can be used throughout the year, with spring blossoms and autumn colors as different highlights. Low-lying paths can become muddy in winter and after rain, while higher-altitude walks may require better physical condition.
A long tradition of walking guides.
Cicerone has published guidebooks since 1969. The publisher emerged among climbers and mountain people who wanted to share thorough knowledge of their routes—a tradition that still characterizes these compact books for walking, trekking, and other outdoor experiences.
