Sunday 15th July
Malvern
Easy/Moderate 12 miles
Set against the backdrop of the Malvern Hills this walk, mostly to the west of North Malvern, is across a hilly landscape that is a patchwork of pasture, woodland and orchard threaded by numerous brooks.
We visit two villages, each with its own Norman church, and spy a magnificent yew tree which is at least one thousand years old before taking an easy(ish) route up the north end of the Malvern Hills and along Lady Howard de Walden Drive as we make our return to the starting point.
Moderately hilly, occasionally steep and with numerous stiles. After the walk meet in the pub for a well-deserved drink.
Sunday 22nd July
Henley-in-Arden
Easy 10 miles
A walk through the fields and woods to the west of Henley-in-Arden. We walk on the Arden Way towards Bannam's Wood and then follow bridleways and lanes to the pretty little church at Oldberrow for a lunch stop. Returning past Wawensmere we head back to the starting point. The wearing of shorts is not recommended due to some overgrown paths.
Sunday 29th July
Derbyshire Bridge, Buxton
Moderate 10 miles
A route will be selected to suit the weather on the day but it will be a combination of moorland tracks and traffic-controlled roads and very pleasant valley walking around the Goyt Valley/Axe Edge areas. An option to attend one of the nearby pubs will be available for those in need of post-walk refreshment.
