The Fabulous Malvern Hills
Saturday 21st July
“Come join us for a day in the Malvern Hills! There’s nowhere finer than this for day of discovery in the very heart of the Abberley & Malvern Hills during the Annual GeoFest. As President of the Geopark, I want to show you some of our fine Precambrian and Silurian rocks. You’ll see ancient igneous rocks, some great landscape and a Silurian limestone – you might even catch a glimpse of a trilobite!”
Meeting: Malvern Hills GeoCentre, Wyche, Malvern (WR13 6PJ) at 10:30am. Please bring packed lunch.
