Overview

This strenuous walk will include all the major tops in the north of the ridge including Worcestershire Beacon and North Hill. We lose height to have lunch in Great Malvern before returning to the ridge which we follow southwards, We eventually reach our start point from where we climb Herefordshire Beacon and Millennium Hill before returning to the start. Those who do want to climb Herefordshire Beacon will be able to take advantage of the pub while waiting for everyone to meet again. The ascent for the full walk is greater than 3,000 feet.
