Malvern's hills and wells (PT)

Nowhere in the West Midlands is more popular with walkers than the Malvern Hills. Do this walk and you'll understand why that is. The route takes in St Ann's Well, where you can fill your bottle with the famous Malvern water, together with several of the peaks including the Worcestershire Beacon, from where you can see the Cotswolds, the Abberleys, the Shropshire hills and far into Wales. The walk is 7 miles and there are several steep climbs, which are well worth the effort on a clear day. You can park at Great Malvern railway station, OS grid ref* SO 783456. There are good train services to Malvern from Birmingham and Hereford. Map
