Overview

 

Wednesday 27th August - Suckley Hills - approx 7.5 miles. 10:00 am start time.

This is a lovely walk with amazing views. However,  there are several steep ascents and descents so poles are recommended if you normally use them. Although parts can be challenging, the beautiful views over the Malverns and towards Hereford make it worthwhile.

There are 2 stiles and there are wooded sections. Total elevation is 1400ft.

Meet in the car park by Alfrick and Lulsley Community Shop in Alfrick, ready to begin the walk at 10am.

Post code:  WR6 5HJ

The community shop is run by volunteers and sells fresh produce and plants. It also has a cafe selling coffee and home made cakes.

Hope to see you there.
