Walking the Malvern Hills is as rewarding for the casual dogwalker as it is for the serious fell walker.  The footpaths are accessible from the outlying towns, villages and carparks; whilst pubs, hotels and other amenities are all within striking distance. On the hills, the views are stunning and the fresh air invigorating.  Come mid-week out-of-season, and you can even have peaks to yourself.  Details of walks through Great Malvern to the hills and also convenient cafes and pubs near the hill walks on the can be seen here.

Apart from walking the eight or so miles of the undulating spine of the Malvern Hills, you can also divert along numerous footpaths and bridleways to explore old quarries, patches of woodland, neighbouring countryside and villages.  In fact there are over 100 miles of paths to explore. 

Visit the Malverns have created a walk finder to help you choose a walk to take part in. They have also published a useful guide to walking on the northern section of the hills. There is also an annual walking event, The Malvern Walking Festival.
