The Malvern Hills are one of my families favourite places to spend an afternoon. I work in Malvern many times during the week dealing with boiler breakdowns and installations and when I look up at the hills, I can hear my kids begging me and my wife to take them for a hike, and the subsequent giant slice of cake at Abbey Road Coffee that always follows.
Our last walk was on a cold sunny day back in febuary, we opted for a shortish walk as it was pretty cold! We walked the Worcestershire Beacon which is the highest point of the Malvern Hills and the highest point in the county. The route is just over 4 miles long and with a bit of piggy backing here and there is easy enough for my youngest.
The walk starts off on westminster road close to parking which makes this circular rout even easier. After a steep climb up throught the town we get onto the trail passing St Annes Well and the nice cafe of the same name where it´s a good idea to stop and grab a drink for the walk if you, like us forgot to pack some.
