Hiking

First and last light on Hereford Beacon in the Malvern Hills. It is also known as British Camp as it one of the finest examples of an Iron Age Hillfort in the country. The light snow or frost can really help to pick out the defensive ramparts that protected the fort, and low cloud also adds to the atmosphere.

Hiking

This is one of the more forgiving hills in the Malvern as there are many track to take which comes with its own elevations gain/loss.... plus great views all around
