Overview

Despite the title this is a flat walk through lovely open countryside with great views of the nearby Malvern Hills.  The walk starts from the ‘Old Hills’ common at Callow End and goes through the village of Madresfield before touching the outskirts of Malvern.  It heads towards the River Severn before wending back into Callow End.  If the wet weather continues there will be sections which are muddy so poles are recommended.  There are no refreshments en-route but there is an option of a drink in the ‘Old Bush’ in Callow End after the walk.
