DISCOVER a new walk over the festive season. Driving along Townsend Way many people view the verges on either side, however, few walk through Malvern Community Woodland.

Hidden behind a belt of trees planted some 15 years ago and situated down the bank there are many places from which the Community Woodland can be enjoyed. Walk from Newland or North End Lane; accessible from the footpath network a linear route has been cut out through young woodland. There are very few stiles and new bridges constructed by the Field Staff make this an attractive walk of just under a mile. The walk can easily be extended by walking to Madresfield village.
