Walking The Malverns with Sense Adventures 2026

Are you visually impaired and would love to explore the beauty of the Malvern Hills?

Sense Adventures offers regular day walks and short break walking holidays for mixed groups of sighted and visually impaired people in the Malvern Hills.

Volunteer guides accompany each visually impaired/blind walker on a one-to-one basis As a blind or visually impaired person you can rest assured that you will be supported as you require from meeting you from local Great Malvern station to accompanying you on a one-to-one basis throughout a full day of walking on the beautiful Malvern Hills. The groups are friendly and the focus is on enjoying the outdoors and mixing with new people. We walk around 6 miles but more depending on the group. Guide dogs are welcome. The short breaks take place in the historic town of Great Malvern and include walks as well as socializing in the evenings and a visit to a place of interest.

As a blind person it’s not always easy to go for a walk in somewhere like this for fear of getting lost or disoriented or being uncertain of the terrain. With the support of the sense adventures guides it is possible to experience the freedom and excitement of the Malvern Hills landscape. We are all a friendly and sociable bunch and each walk is a different but enjoyable experience.

What the guides say:

Anne:

I have been volunteering as a sighted guide for a few months now and I absolutely love it. We have had great days (although not always with great weather!), meeting new people and their dogs and enjoying the Malvern Hills. You don’t need to be an expert in sight loss; the person you are supporting will be able to explain how best to assist them. You do need to like dogs as well as people: the guide dogs get “time off” from their working duties on these walks and they really enjoy their freedom! Add in a picnic lunch or maybe a café for tea and cake…why not get your boots on and come with us next time?
