moderate<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>1. Early detour<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Start at British Camp car park opposite the Malvern Hills Hotel near Little Malvern. You can get here by bus from Great Malvern \u2013 take the 44B or 481 towards Ledbury from Church Street, getting off opposite the kiosk (you\u2019ll see the hotel on the right). Or, if you don\u2019t mind adding some miles to the route, it takes about an hour to walk here from Great Malvern train station.<\/p>\n<p>The first part of the walk is a loop of British Camp, or Herefordshire Beacon. Go through the wooden gate halfway down the car park and follow the path along the eastern side of the hill. Ignore the trail and steps to the right, sticking with the lower path as it emerges from the trees with lovely views of British Camp Reservoir to your left.<\/p>\n<section class=\"&quot;highlight\"><div class=\"&quot;highlight__content\" editor-content=\"\"> <p>Related articles<\/p>\n<ul><li><a href=\"\/\/www.countryfile.com\/go-outdoors\/walks\/best-hikes-in-wales\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener noopener noreferrer\" noreferrer=\"\">Best walks in Wales<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"\/\/www.countryfile.com\/go-outdoors\/days-out\/guide-to-britains-best-castles-history-and-where-to-see\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener noopener noreferrer\" noreferrer=\"\">Guide to Britain\u2019s castles<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"\/\/www.countryfile.com\/go-outdoors\/walks\/top-10-easy-mountains-for-beginners\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener noopener noreferrer\" noreferrer=\"\">Mini mountains for beginners<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul><p> <\/p><\/div> <div class=\"&quot;highlight__image-container&quot;\"> <div class=\"&quot;highlight__image&quot;\"> <div class=\"&quot;img-container\" img-container--highlight-image=\"\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/22\/2019\/04\/Bluebells-on-British-hills-5c58043-scaled.jpg?quality=45&amp;resize=556,556&quot;\" srcset=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/22\/2019\/04\/Bluebells-on-British-hills-5c58043-scaled.jpg?quality=45&amp;resize=1025,1025\" https:=\"\" sizes=\"&quot;(min-width:\" calc=\"\" width=\"&quot;556&quot;\" height=\"&quot;556&quot;\" class=\"&quot;img-container__image\" img-fluid=\"\" wp-image-54448=\"\" alignnone=\"\" size-highlight_image=\"\" img-container__image=\"\" alt=\"&quot;Bluebells\" on=\"\" british=\"\" hills=\"\" title=\"&quot;Bluebells\" data-source-name=\"&quot;Getty&quot;\"\/><\/div><div class=\"&quot;caption-hold&quot;\"><figcaption class=\"&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;\">Getty<\/figcaption><\/div><\/div> <\/div> <\/section><p>About 500m beyond the reservoir, take a path to the right linking the lower trail with the main ridge path and follow signs for British Camp (Herefordshire Beacon).<\/p>\n<p><strong>2.

Along the ridge<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Carry on along the main path towards the top of the next hill. Continue on the ridge until you get to Wyche Cutting, with Great Malvern visible to the right and Worcestershire Beacon up ahead. There are some steep climbs \u2013 including 357m-high Pinnacle Hill. It\u2019s quite a slog when it\u2019s hot, but it\u2019s well worth taking a picnic to eat while you enjoy the views.<\/p>\n<p>On a clear day, look west to the Herefordshire hills and the rugged Black Mountains. And keep an eye out for grayling\u00a0and small heath butterflies, adders, green woodpeckers, harvest mice, meadow pipits and, in spring, marsh orchids.<\/p>\n<p>At Wych Cutting, the path descends to the road. Turn right and, just before The Wych Inn, take a second right on to Old Wyche Road. This soon turns into Lower Wyche Road, which takes you into Great Malvern.<\/p>\n<div class=\"&quot;image-handler__container\" image-handler__container--aspect=\"\" style=\"&quot;padding-bottom:\" calc=\"\"> <picture><source media=\"&quot;(max-width:\" data-srcset=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/22\/2018\/09\/Great-Malvern-ace585e.png?webp=true&amp;quality=90&amp;resize=286%2C199,\" https:=\"\" type=\"&quot;image\/webp&quot;\"><source media=\"&quot;(max-width:\" data-srcset=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/22\/2018\/09\/Great-Malvern-ace585e.png?quality=90&amp;resize=286%2C199,\" https:=\"\" type=\"&quot;image\/png&quot;\"><source media=\"&quot;(max-width:\" data-srcset=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/22\/2018\/09\/Great-Malvern-ace585e.png?webp=true&amp;quality=90&amp;resize=339%2C236,\" https:=\"\" type=\"&quot;image\/webp&quot;\"><source media=\"&quot;(max-width:\" data-srcset=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/22\/2018\/09\/Great-Malvern-ace585e.png?quality=90&amp;resize=339%2C236,\" https:=\"\" type=\"&quot;image\/png&quot;\"><source media=\"&quot;(max-width:\" data-srcset=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/22\/2018\/09\/Great-Malvern-ace585e.png?webp=true&amp;quality=90&amp;resize=386%2C269,\" https:=\"\" type=\"&quot;image\/webp&quot;\"><source media=\"&quot;(max-width:\" data-srcset=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/22\/2018\/09\/Great-Malvern-ace585e.png?quality=90&amp;resize=386%2C269,\" https:=\"\" type=\"&quot;image\/png&quot;\"><source media=\"&quot;(max-width:\" data-srcset=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/22\/2018\/09\/Great-Malvern-ace585e.png?webp=true&amp;quality=90&amp;resize=530%2C369&quot;\" type=\"&quot;image\/webp&quot;\"><source media=\"&quot;(max-width:\" data-srcset=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/22\/2018\/09\/Great-Malvern-ace585e.png?quality=90&amp;resize=530%2C369&quot;\" type=\"&quot;image\/png&quot;\"><source media=\"&quot;(min-width:\" data-srcset=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/22\/2018\/09\/Great-Malvern-ace585e.png?webp=true&amp;quality=90&amp;resize=593%2C413&quot;\" type=\"&quot;image\/webp&quot;\"><source media=\"&quot;(min-width:\" data-srcset=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/22\/2018\/09\/Great-Malvern-ace585e.png?quality=90&amp;resize=593%2C413&quot;\" type=\"&quot;image\/png&quot;\"><source media=\"&quot;(min-width:\" data-srcset=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/22\/2018\/09\/Great-Malvern-ace585e.png?webp=true&amp;quality=90&amp;resize=389%2C271,\" https:=\"\" type=\"&quot;image\/webp&quot;\"><source media=\"&quot;(min-width:\" data-srcset=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/22\/2018\/09\/Great-Malvern-ace585e.png?quality=90&amp;resize=389%2C271,\" https:=\"\" type=\"&quot;image\/png&quot;\"><source media=\"&quot;(min-width:\" data-srcset=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/22\/2018\/09\/Great-Malvern-ace585e.png?webp=true&amp;quality=90&amp;resize=531%2C370&quot;\" type=\"&quot;image\/webp&quot;\"><source media=\"&quot;(min-width:\" data-srcset=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/22\/2018\/09\/Great-Malvern-ace585e.png?quality=90&amp;resize=531%2C370&quot;\" type=\"&quot;image\/png&quot;\"><img class=\"&quot;wp-image-57396\" align=\"\" size-landscape_thumbnail=\"\" image-handler__image=\"\" image-handler__image--aspect=\"\" no-wrap=\"\" js-lazyload=\"\" data-src=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/22\/2018\/09\/Great-Malvern-ace585e.png?quality=90&amp;resize=593%2C413&quot;\" width=\"&quot;620&quot;\" height=\"&quot;413&quot;\" alt=\"&quot;Great\" malvern=\"\" worcestershire=\"\" title=\"&quot;Great\"\/><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/picture><\/div><div class=\"&quot;caption-hold&quot;\"><figcaption class=\"&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;\"><span class=\"&quot;caption-copy&quot;\"><i class=\"&quot;icon-arrow\" icon-camera-circle=\"\"\/> Great Malvern lies on the eastern side of the Malvern Hills in Worcestershire<\/span><\/figcaption><span class=\"&quot;im-image-caption&quot;\"> <i>Getty<\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<p><strong>4.
