Julia Goodfellow-Smith's love of walking is one of the reasons that she chose Malvern as her home. During the coronavirus lockdowns of spring 2020 she walked over 600 miles, mainly from her front door, and came to know the hills and surrounding area intimately. In her books, Julia aims to share her love of walking and help others to confidently explore and enjoy some of the best routes, landscapes and views of the area themselves.
