Against the backdrop of the Malvern Hills, this route is in a very lovely part of Worcestershire. Beginning at the country church just north of Hanley Swan, footpaths and bridleways are taken to Malvern Wells, the resting place of Sir Edward Elgar. It is easy to see why his beloved native landscape inspired some of his musical genius, so highly regarded by the nation. The last part of the circuit takes in Hanley Swan Village with its huge duckpond, the central attraction standing opposite The Swan pub, an inviting place of charming character.

Just goes to show what an enjoyable and easy walk this is - we calculate the walk at just over 7.2 miles (11.5 kms) according to the Memory-Map overlay.

This is a very pleasant walk, easy to follow, with great views of the Malvern hills and a nice pub opposite the duck pond just before the end. The distance of the walk seemed to be nearer to 5.1/2 than 7 miles
