Vespucci's stunning hiking packs are made up of an OS based map and guidebook that contains everything you need for a great day out.
Vespucci's hiking packs make great gifts for Mothers' and Fathers' Day, birthdays, wedding presents and Christmas presents. We have tried to think of everything to encourage the recipient to get outside on a beautiful walk with family, friends or colleagues. There will be a cafe near the start, pub towards the end, great views and interesting places to see along the way. Most walks can be accessed directly by train. All the walks are based on local knowledge and are aimed at those who need some inspiration to get up and out!
There are so many permutations for hikes in the Malvern Hills. We have put together a hike that can be done in a day but also split in two with an overnight stay. For those coming from further afield, this makes for an outstanding two-day adventure. The walk starts at Great Malvern Station and it is then uphill all the way to the Worcestershire Beacon, the highest point of the Malvern Hills. However, allow plenty of time to enjoy Great Malvern, its shops, cafes and Priory. Once on the top of the Malvern Hills, the ridgeway walk is spectacular and repays the effort expended to get there. We have added an extension to the Cottage in the Woods, a delightful hotel ideally positioned for an overnight stop. For those completing the walk in a day, the route winds its way back via North Hill with a short cut option using Colwall Station. It is not a walk for the faint hearted with a total ascent of 849m.
