| | | Malvern Hills
I have just been on a superb walk, the length of the Malvern Hills. The weather was splendid and I can thoroughly recommend this walk.
Can anyone suggest a similar walk? I like the way that it is a range of hills - great exercise with inclines and declines.
Cheers
Andrew

Andrew | the cotswold way goes the length of the cotswolds
The pennine way goes most of the length of the penines
The south downs and north downs ways go the lenth of their respective ranges (and there is a link between them)
and of course the ridgeway (wots i manage  ) goes most of the length of the wessex downs and most of the length of the chilterns
plenty of up and down on all of them
see here for detail on all of the above (plus others) Home - National Trails

I am finding the Pennines too full of midges. Oppresively so. The Malverns has a lack of stagnant water of heath so its pretty much flying insect free.
I have been bitten badly this year

I know what you mean about the midges and clegs - curse of the uplands (btw did you know its only the female cleg that sucks blood, the male feeds only on pollen)
You may find this site useful for your malvern excursions

Try the Clywydian Hills, taking in Moel Famau. You won't walk the entire range in day like the Malverns and neither are they so shapely, but it's a similar, airy kind of walk where one can stride out. If you want to traverse 'ranges' there are several long distance footpaths already mentioned that do so, with the Pennine Way perhaps the grandest of all, but these will take you several days.

The Wolds Way in East Yorkshire is a good hike if you've got 3 or 4 days to spare,about 70 miles from the Humber to the East coast,and plenty of good pubs along the way. |

I'm interested to hear there are midges on the Pennine Way. I walked it in July/early August about 40 years ago and was not bitten by at all. Are midges and clegs moving south? Seems odd given the average temperature is increasing.
The South Downs Way has been mentioned already and it is excellent; some of the best walking and views in SE England IMO.
