Description

Enjoy the beauty of the Malvern Hills and its surrounding towns and villages with this walking app which provides a range of informative self-guided walks on your mobile device.


GPS tracking, detailed photos, and turn by turn instructions provide you with the information you need to self-navigate this stunning part of the country.

The app is pre-installed with a Malvern town walk. Further walks are available to download for free (please connect to Wi-Fi to see the full list of available walks). The walk downloads contain all the information; there is no requirement for a mobile connection during the walks.


Please note that continued running of GPS in the background can decrease battery life, so please make sure you set out with a charged battery and close down the app once you have finished.


Please visit www.visitthemalverns.org for more information on the Malverns and to download PDF leaflet versions of the walks.

Great App but...

I downloaded this app yesterday and used it on my day out to the Malvern Hills, I thought it was a brilliant app and made navigating around the hills even more fun and enjoyable.


If there’s one thing about the app that lets it down and hence why I gave it a 4 star instead of 5 is that the display doesn’t seem to fit correctly on screen when you’ve got your display in zoomed mode on the iPhone 7 Plus, apart from that the app is top stuff!

Repeatedly needing to download maps

The information and graphics are superb. I was so pleased initially. I scored this 3 because it might be me or the settings on my phone, if it wasn’t me I’d have scored it 1 because it was utterly useless on the day ☹️.


I downloaded the map I wanted and we started on our walk, everything good for the first 10 mins. The phone screen had gone blank because I hadn’t looked at it for that time. Unlocked the phone and the app had gone back to the Home Screen. Clicked on the wall we wanted again. It wanted to download again. Annoying, but okay.


Needless to say this became the theme of the walk. If I kept the phone on then everything was okay, but I couldn’t possibly do that for 3 hours. For most of the walk we barely had 3G and it took well over 5 minutes to download the map. For the last quarter of the walk we had no reception at all, got lost and had to walk back via the road.


Shame because otherwise the app seemed good.

Developer Response ,

Sorry you encountered the problems you describe. Once a walk has been downloaded, the app should not request to download the walk again and trying to do so over 3G would be a pain! Without being there and checking on your phone, cannot really offer any meaningful explanation. Appreciate your feedback on the graphics, thank you.

So disappointed!

This should be a brilliant app. But I hated it once I started using it for one reason. I used it to get to the start point in the south when driving there for an end-to-end walk. I used the postcode on the app & the given names, & (very limited) directions so that I could park up & set off. When arriving at the postcode supplied by the app, there was no car park. Just an empty private field. Nor was the house there, opposite as suggested. And the building names given by the app were also completely different or non-existent. I ended up driving around for 40 minutes trying to find somewhere to park because the postcode & directions were incorrect. It was simply so irritating that I have now deleted it.

Developer Response ,

Very sorry you had this bad experience. Navigating using postcodes in rural locations is likely to send you to a place close but not exactly where you need to be. We have now added into the start location information a warning about this along with a What3words location and an OS Grid Reference.
