SUMMARY:Hidden Trails on the Malvern Hills (Malvern Walking Festival)
DESCRIPTION:An exploration of routes off the beaten track\, on and around the Herefordshire Beacon and nearby hills. From historic Little Malvern Priory with its Benedictine heritage\, we follow the contour below the hill fort\, and climb to the ridge. After reaching Walm’s well\, which dates from the late Bronze age\, and was later revered by the water curists\, we continue below the west side of the ridge. The concluding part of this highly scenic route is to the north of the A449 road\, eventually reaching Wynd’s Point and down to the Priory. 3 stiles and up and down of 160m. \nGenerally easy but with a long incline and a few difficult short stretches towards the end. Frequent stops to discuss history\, landscape and some ‘tall-tales’. \nApproximately ¾ into the walk\, we will pause by the public lavatories opposite the Malvern Hills Hotel. \n£5.00 \nDistance:	5 miles\nDuration:	3 hours\nDifficulty:	Moderate\nDate:	24 May\nStart time:	10:00 am\nWalk leader:	Michael Johnson\nStart location:	Little Malvern Priory Car Park\nA4104\nOS Explorer 190: 770 405\nWR14 4JN\nGrid reference:	770 405\nWhat3Words:	unknown\nFurther details:\nToo far to walk from the railway station
