Here at the Trust, we publish a number of informative and easy to follow trails guides covering various location throughout the two counties, as well as the long-distance Geopark Way Trail guide.

Our Explore trail guides take readers on a short, self-guided walk (or drive) explaining the geology along the way. There trails are located in towns that explore the diverse uses of local rocks as building stones, whilst other trails are located out in the countryside that explore how and where the local rocks were formed and how they influence the nature of the landscape seen along the trail. With more than 25 trails throughout the two counties, there's plenty of choice for everyone. More information on our self-guiding trails can be found here.

Our Discovery guides are a new series of publications that we have just begun to develop. These 24-page, A4 sized guides delve deeper into the geology and landscape of larger areas in the two counties and are ideal for those who wish to follow up on the explore self-guiding trails. We currently have two guides available for the Frome valley and the Abberley and Malvern Hills Geopark. More information about the Discovery guides can be found here.

Our Walking for Health Guides are a series of trails designed to meet the Walking the way to Health Initiative's guidelines on healthy walks. The 8-page folding leaflets contain a detailed route map with directions as well as as description of the geologic and landscape features seen on route. The guides are free and can be download from our website, as well as obtained from various doctor's surgeries, health centres and tourist information centres in Bridgnorth, Alveley, Stourport, and Ledbury. More information about the guides is available here.

Running through the Abberley and Malvern Hills Geopark is the Geopark Way; a long distance walking trail that highlights the geology and landscape found within the Geopark. The trail guide takes you along the route of the trail, interpreting the geology and landscape seen. Attention is also paid to how both man and nature have utilised, and have been influenced by, the local geology and landscape. It does this by looking at industrial archaeology, historical, recreational and wildlife sites along the trail. More information on the Geopark Way and Geopark Way trail guide can be found here.
