Overview

These walks involve travel by coach to the Malvern area.  We will meet at Tesco car park off Park Road, Loughborough at 8am. Walkers will be dropped off at two points for long and short versions of the walk.
The longer walk will start at Eastnor Castle car park where there are toilets and a small cafe. The walk is 10 miles and will finish in Great Malvern. There are more toilets on the route at British Camp car park and at Upper Wyche.
The shorter walk starts at the British Camp car park where there are toilets, a cafe and a public house. This walk is 6 miles, will go at a slower pace than the long walk and may go round the hills.
Both walks finish in Great Malvern where there will be free time to enjoy refreshments in the town. The coach will pick up at 6pm and return to Loughborough by 8 pm.
The cost of the trip is £25.
