The first walk of this year’s Malvern Civic Society (MCS) series takes place through the fields, woods and common land in what is known as The Golden Triangle in Gloucestershire and Herefordshire, where the famous wild daffodils may be seen at their best at this time of year.
Because this will be Kempley Daffodil Weekend, which attracts a large number of people, please arrive at the meeting point by 9.45am to enable us to set off promptly on the walk. The Dymock area can be reached in about 35 mins from Malvern.
Where to meet
To ensure the best possible viewing of the wild flowers the precise route, meeting point and parking details will be communicated a few days before the walk. Although the ground will be generally flat, and walking relatively easy, good walking shoes or boots should be worn, and a pole/stick may helpful. Further access details will be communicated.
