Overview

After taking the train from Great Malvern to Colwall we will climb steadily to Wynds Point, then head north along the Ridge to the Worcestershire Beacon. From Table Hill the route joins the Worcestershire Way prior to a relatively gentle descent to St Ann's Well. We will descend the 99 steps to Great Malvern Priory and walk through parkland and roads back to the station.
