There are so many routes for walking these hills We walked over the top of the hills in a variety of different routes, there is also a circular walk, you need to wear decent footwear and plan for changes in weather Great exercise for the minimal cost of the car park £4.50 a day

You need to look up the History of the Whole Malvern Hills around 13 Miles long, once at the Top you have Lovely Views All around you, people travel from World Wide to see them. If you bring Dogs please make sure they are under Control as Cattle and Sheep are on some parts and have been attacked, Well Worth a Visit for All, Disabled could be an issue though.

Wow ! This was possibly the best of the 18 walks of our holiday. Of course the weather plays its part and this was the hottest and sunniest October day for years. The views from the top of British Camp (AKA Herefordshire Beacon) are some of the best you'll ever see in England and the space up the top is enormous, so even if you're sharing it with about 300 secondary school students (which we were) you'll still find plenty of room for a peaceful moment or two to lie down and admire the vista. Holly Terrier thoroughly enjoyed this walk and recommends it to all canine travelers. The arrowed path up is steep in places but perfectly do-able by most able bodied walkers. If you are a little older/unfitter/fatter (like me) I'd advise going to lower route going up (longer, not so steep, plenty of benches) and then taking the steep/shorter route on the way back down. Either way it's a magnificent walk, historic, scenic, beautiful...plus convenient parking, toilets and cafe at bottom (parking ticket gets you parking in any Malvern Hills car park for rest of day so hang on to it). Could only possibly be enhanced by a little information about any archaeology done thereabouts, life of the Iron Age peoples there, etc. Otherwise get on and enjoy it !

Wonderful parish church, originally a Benedictine priory. Having largely escaped the depredations of the reformers and puritans, many early details remain, including the spectacular 15th century stained glass windows. Much to admire and enjoy in this lovely place. Well worth the visit.

Even in the wind and rain, this park was worth a visit. Set behind the theatre, it still has many features from when it was first developed. There are information boards telling the history and a play area and duck pond for the kids. If you want a quiet spot for contemplation, there are seats hidden in little nooks and crannies about the park. One feature is the bandstand, rebuilt with nominated bricks, makes an interesting read.
