Kettle Sings - Malvern

The walk starts from Gardiner's Quarry Car park south of Upper Colwall. We follow the path from the south end of the car park, that leads along the side of the hill, climbing slowly. After 400m we reach a path running on the west side of the ridge line. Turning north, we join this path and follow it keeping the ridge line on our right. About half way along the ridge we go through a gate and through a field of livestock for a couple of hundred yards before exiting the field and joining the path coming down from the ridge line. Shortly after this the path we are on joins the ridge line path and we head down the ridge line towards Upper Wyche; enjoying excellent views to east and west. The path leads to some steps which lead past a handy public toilet. We then follow the road for a short while until just past Wyche Free Church, where we can join a path that parallels the road - with us keeping the road on our right. This path takes us through some woods giving the walk a very different feel to that earlier near the ridge line. This path takes us all the way back to the car park where we started.
