Overview

We will start by walking uphill from the car park to ascend the spectacular British Camp (also known as the Herefordshire Beacon). It consists of concentric ditches and mounds.

Then we will follow a series of hills and look at an obelisk before eventually reaching Chase End Hill which is at the southern end of the Malvern Hills.

Afterwards we will return to the British Camp car park via a lower-level route on the eastern side of the Malvern Hills.
