Malvern Hills Circular Walk
This long route makes use of the Three Choirs Way and the old route of the Worcestershire Way to create a circular walk through the Malvern Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. There's fabulous views over the counties of Herefordshire, Gloucestershire and Worcestershire throughout.
The walk starts North Malvern at the main parking area next to the hills. You then follows footpaths up to Table Hill and Sugarloaf Hill before coming to the high point at the range at Worcestershire Beacon.
You continue south past Summer Hill, Black Hill and Jubilee Hill before coming to Herefordshire Beacon and British Camp where there's a fascinating Iron Age Hillfort.
At Hangman's Hill you turn north and follow footpaths to Colwall Stone and West Malvern. Here you pick up some woodland trails through Six Acre Wood before returning to the car park.

Pubs/Cafes
We recommend stopping at the Chase Inn for some refreshments on the route. There's a great menu and a really splendid garden area with lovely views towards the Black Mountains. You can find the pub in Upper Colwall, just to the south of Worcestershire Beacon, with a postcode of WR13 6DJ for your sat navs.
Further Information and Other Local Ideas
For an alternative circular walk starting from the Colwall train station see the Colwall Walk. Here you can also visit the Colwall Park Hotel where you can enjoy a delicious afternoon tea in the beautiful hotel grounds.

Table Hill. Taken from the path rising up from St. Anne's Well. Table Hill is west of North Hill and its summit is in fact just north of North Hill. End Hill is even further north of both of these.

Sugarloaf Hill (with Table Hill and North Hill). Looking NNW from Worcestershire Beacon we have, from left to right, Sugarloaf Hill, Table Hill and North Hill. Clee Hill is on the skyline beyond Sugarloaf and the Wrekin (64km away) can just be seen as a grey blur beyond Table Hill.
