Sample Itinerary
Each of our short break holidays is different although they do follow a similar pattern. Some holidays include all meals in the cost, some only include breakfast. The exact cost and inclusions are made clear when you enquire and book a specific trip. These itineraries are given as an example; all times are approximate.
DAY WALK
​
9:30am - arrive Great Malvern train station. You are met by the Sense Adventures' team and then taken by car to the start point for the day's walk. You are assigned a guide for the first section of the walk. Everyone can walk at their own pace and we stop in various places along the trail to keep the group together. During some of these stops guides are rotated to allow you to meet more of the volunteers who are all local and have different interests to share with you.
​
12:00pm - if the weather is nice we try to have a packed lunch and enjoy it outside. If the weather is not so nice we will stop at a cafe or pub on the hills for some refreshments.
​

Testimonial from Saliya, Kent:
"This was a fantastic break, at the end of which I felt rejuvenated. The guides were great — very friendly and kind. The walking tour of Ledbury was fantastic and informative, and I thoroughly enjoyed the evening learning about different birdsong, and being able to touch various objects. Thank you x"
