And/Or Head Up Onto The Hills
The spectacular landscape of The Malvern Hills is easily accessed from Great Malvern town. It only takes about 30-40 minutes of walking for you to be transported from the streets of the town to the panoramic views and lush meadows of the hills. The steep St Anne’s road, past The Unicorn Pub on Bellevue Terrace, winds up the hills and past St Anne’s Well Café. You could stop here, as there are lovely views from behind the café, or carry on up to the Worcestershire Beacon to be rewarded with view across Great Malvern and the Worcestershire Plain on one side and rural Herefordshire and beyond to the Welsh Black Mountains on the other. For a slightly less steep route head south out of town to the Wyche Road and hop onto the hills from one of the footpaths that run alongside. Find a route that works for you with our Walk Finder.
