The 'End 2 End' walk on the Malvern Hills is consistently voted in the top 10 walks in the country by walking magazines. It's so good we are going to do it twice!
I have led the End 2 End countless times and the End 2 End & Back several times including two years running for the Malvern Walking Festival as one of their challenge walks.
The Malvern Hills are almost in a straight line-ish, so you have great views of Herefordshire, Wales, Black Mountains etc on one side and on the other side you have great views of the Cotswolds and the Severn Valley.
None of this escaped our ancient ancestors. Add in the mix 47 natural fresh water springs to be found in and around the Malvern Hills
and you will start to understand why this place was so sacred in our Bronze/Iron Age past. Infact we will walk over and explore British Camp & Midsummer Hill, two of the most impressive Iron Age Hillforts in the country.
*Please only come on this walk if you are a good level of fitness and can sustain almost constant descending/ascending for 10 hours.*
We will have our lunch break half way at Chase End Hill, bring a hearty lunch you will have earned it.
We will try and stop at the cafe/kiosk at British Camp, on the way out and on the way back, for a cup of tea/ice cream. This will depend on the queues, they can be long in the summer.
*Bring plenty of water to sustain you, minimum 2 ltrs, this will be a long hot day.*
There are toilets at British Camp and also at Wyche Cutting.
