Hiking the Malvern Hills

Date:
07.06.2026
Characteristic:
Hike
Duration:
3:30h
Distance:
14.0km

To experience some (moderate) height meters together, we drove to Great Malvern and parked along the Upper Beacon Road. From there, we first headed northwards (up to Worcestershire Beacon). Taking a slightly different route back, we then continued southwards, crossing over Perseverance Hill, Jubilee Hill, Pinnacle Hill, and Black Hill to get to the British Camp Hill Fort, which really is very impressive: More than two millenia ago, these massive earth works were constructed as defensive banks and ditches. From there, it was then back north, again, to return to the car. Instead of crossing over all the hills, again, we instead took a route through the forest on the eastern slope of the hills. All in all, this hike across the Malvern Hills was very enjoyable! :-) Selected photos are available >>>

Visiting Warwick from Leamington Spa

Date:
06.06.2026
Characteristic:
Hike
Duration:
2:00h
Distance:
6.9km

We started in Leamington Spa and first crossed over the River Leam via the Mill Passage (right next to the kind of interesting Elephant Wash). On the other, northern side, we then passed through Jephson Gardens, first, before continuing through Pump Room Gardens on the other side of Parade. Then, we followed the course of the River Leam (again on its southern side) until we connected to the Grand Union Canal, which we then followed in northwestern direction. This brought us to the Avon Aqueduct, where the canal bridges over the River Avon. We then followed the River Avon (on its northern side) further westwards, passing by the Charter Bridge, until we arrived at Banbury Road, where we could see the Warwick Castle from the bridge. Walking up Banbury Road, then, we arrived in Warwick, where >>>
