Overview

A 10 mile moderate circular walk of North Malvern and Mathon. Our walk starts at The North Quarry Car Park and follows the G Way skirting around North Hill and then ascends to the top of the Worcestershire Beacon. We descend, then take a sharp right hand turn to follow a track to a road and a path to reach the Hayslad Spring and down a track and past Park Farm and Mathon Lodge through Little Coppice to reach a lane. Past Rose Farm, before turning right onto a track skirting Cockshot Hill and Lambridge Hill Wood up to a lane. We take another right turn and then left onto a track towards Whitman’s Hill Farm where we turn right into fields with views overlooking scenic countryside which would be a good spot for lunch. Follow track through Six Acre Wood and Cother Wood into West Malvern. We turn left to road and cross, past Elim International centre and, again, we turn right and follow track around North Hill. Finally we turn left onto a track back to car park.
