SUMMARY:Tenbury Wells Circular (Malvern Walking Festival)
DESCRIPTION:A short but lovely circular walk that starts and ends from the town of Tenbury Wells’ free car park near the Burgage. This walk takes in the quiet Rhyse Lane (also a popular quiet cycle route) that will take you down the Teme Valley in parallel with the river and then it turns uphill through the Kyrewood and nearby fields. It then starts to descend through further open sheep fields and eventually it runs along a contour up above the local Kyre Brook through quiet fields. The final section runs aside arable fields and then into the back of the town where you swiftly reach your starting point back in the main car park. \nGiven the short length of the walk we should finish at approximately lunch time back in the town. There are lots of places to then either eat a packed lunch afterwards or you can pop into one of the town’s many pubs or cafes should you prefer too. \nSturdy footwear recommended. \n3 stiles and up and down of 500 feet. \n£6.00 \nDistance: 3.5 miles\nDuration: 2 hours\nDifficulty: Easy\nDate: 18 May\nStart time: 10:00 am\nWalk leader: Andy Stevenson (poin2guides.com)\nStart location: Palmer’s Meadow (Free) Car Park at the gate to the Rugby Pitch.\nPalmer’s Meadow Car Park\nTenbury Wells\nWR15 8SF\nGrid reference: SO 59841 68284\nWhat3Words: ///adjuster.proven.regulator\nFurther details:\nFree Parking at Palmer’s Meadow\, overflow (fee) parking over the Kyre Brook in the Burgage Car Park.

SUMMARY:Hills around West Malvern (Malvern Walking Festival)
DESCRIPTION:This is a wonderful\, undulating meander in West Malvern and Mathon\, crossing over ridges of Silurian limestone and valleys of Silurian Shale. We pass Hay Slad Spout\, one of the most powerful springs on the hills and an opportunity to fill our water bottles with the fantastic spring water of which Malvern is justifiably proud. 6 stiles and up down of 1\,440 feet. \nSome of the rocks seen near Mathon were formed some 400 million years ago. According to a local author ‘There can be no finer scenery than this\, anywhere in England\, and the village of Mathon emphasises this with its name which is thought to be derived from an Old English word for treasure or gift’. \nThere are several gentle hills to walk over but two very steep climbs on the return leg. \n\n£6.00 \n\n\n\nDistance:\n6 miles\n\n\nDuration:\n4 hours\n\n\nDifficulty:\nHard\n\n\nDate:\n18 May\n\n\nStart time:\n10:00 am\n\n\nWalk leader:\nPeter Reynolds (Ombersley Social Strollers)\n\n\nStart location:\nWest of England Quarry car park\nWest Malvern Road\nWR14 4DH\n\n\nGrid reference:\nSO 766448\n\n\nWhat3Words:\ngrocers.pardon.forklift\n\n\nFurther details:\nBring refreshments\, we will stop half-way for a few minutes to enjoy the incredible views on the top of Cockshot Hill and soak up the delightful atmosphere.

SUMMARY:Symonds Yat and Highmeadow Woods (Malvern Walking Festival)
DESCRIPTION:Symonds Yat Rock is one of the iconic features of the Forest of Dean\, a striking view point over a great crook of the River Wye and the starting point for this meandering circuit through a particularly beautiful corner of forest. Along the way it climbs steeply to two more stunning rocky eyries and incorporates a couple of other curiosities for good measure. Halfway around Staunton offers refreshments and also has an interesting church. \nGenerally good well-defined paths with the exception of one rough steep path up through woods which requires a bit of strenuous climbing. Good walking boots and walking poles are recommended. \nStunning cliff top view points across the Wye Valley and the distant horizon of the Black Mountains.

There will be two breaks (coffee and lunch) and walkers must bring adequate food/refreshments for both breaks and a good drinking water supply.

SUMMARY:Discovering the King’s Thirds (Malvern Walking Festival)
DESCRIPTION:Short of cash in the 1630s\, and at odds with Parliament\, King Charles I introduced many imaginative methods of raising revenue. One of these was the King’s Thirds. The archaeology of the older Shire Ditch may be obvious; much less obvious are the hidden features of the King’s Thirds on the northern Malvern Hills. Discover where the banks and ditches were created in the 1630s and their history. \nExploring the King’s enclosures involves some steep sections.  The very steep sections have easier alternatives which will be indicated on the day so that the group reunites.  3 hours are allowed for this short 3-mile walk\, with plenty of time for stops and explanations as we explore this fascinating area. \n\n£6.00 \n\n\n\nDistance:\n3 miles\n\n\nDuration:\n3 hours\n\n\nDifficulty:\nHard\n\n\nDate:\n19 May\n\n\nStart time:\n2:00 pm\n\n\nWalk leader:\nGeorge Demidowicz\n\n\nStart location:\nMeet at the Interpretation board\, West of England car park\nWR14 4DG\n\n\nGrid reference:\nSO 766448\n\n\nWhat3Words:\nhospitals.contracts.patrolled\n\n\nFurther details:\nCar park is Pay and Display

SUMMARY:British Camp Area – How Geology Shapes the Scenery (Malvern Walking Festival)
DESCRIPTION:The walk goes round the ramparts of British Camp\, looking at the very different views to the east and west of the hills which are shaped by the very different geology and its structure. It visits Clutter’s Cave which was formed when submarine volcanoes erupted 566 million years ago in an island arc\, in contrast to the main rock of the hills which cooled from molten magma deep in the Earth’s crust. On the return we see the effects of the East Malvern Fault which dropped the Severn Valley by 2.5 kilometres relative to the Malvern Hills. \nThere is a steep uphill section at the start of the walk which will be taken very slowly. \n\n£6.00 \n\n\n\nDistance:\n2.5 miles\n\n\nDuration:\n3 hours\n\n\nDifficulty:\nModerate\n\n\nDate:\n19 May\n\n\nStart time:\n2:30 pm\n\n\nWalk leader:\nMoira Jenkins (Herefordshire & Worcestershire Earth Heritage Trust)\n\n\nStart location:\nBritish Camp car park where there is a charge for parking.\nA449\nMalvern\,\nWR13 6DW\n\n\nGrid reference:\nSO 763 403\n\n\nWhat3Words:\ntortoises.drill.sandpaper\n\n\nFurther details:\n£6 charge. £3.50 if after 6pm unless you have a resident’s permit.

SUMMARY:Ledbury & Eastnor Circular (Malvern Walking Festival)

From the railway station we meander through the streets of Ledbury before a 100 metre ascent through the woods & farmland to reach a panoramic view of Eastnor Castle\, the Obelisk and the line of the Malvern Hills. We follow a farm track downhill to the red sandstone church of St. John the Baptist in Eastnor before striking out on a bridleway soon passing Eastnor Pottery and a gentle wander through fields and woods to join a stony track before reaching the road back into Ledbury. Whilst there are no stiles to cross there is a fairly steep ascent through the woods at the start to get from the Ledbury town centre to the panoramic view point at 170 metres. Stout shoes are necessary as some of the terrain is stony in places. \n\n£6.00 \n\n\n\nDistance:\n6 miles\n\n\nDuration:\n2.5 hours\n\n\nDifficulty:\nModerate\n\n\nDate:\n21 May\n\n\nStart time:\n10:00 am\n\n\nWalk leader:\nPeter Reynolds (Ombersley Social Strollers)\n\n\nStart location:\nLedbury Railway Station\nThe Homend\nLedbury\nHR8 1AR\n\n\nGrid reference:\nSO 709386\n\n\nWhat3Words:\ntasks.lovely.blocks\n\n\nFurther details:\nMeeting at a railway station.
