Worcestershire Beacon

Reviewed By MaryR5112 - Great Malvern, United Kingdom

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.

Herefordshire Beacon

Reviewed By sarahbZ287GV

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 !

Great Witley Parish Church

Reviewed By ragiansanti34 - Staffordshire, United Kingdom

The Great Witley Church is the U.K.’s finest baroque church. It is absolutely beautiful. The ceiling was painted by Antonio Bellucci. There are three main pictures, The Ascension, The Decent from the Cross, and The Nativity. Surrounding the three main paintings, are ten smaller paintings of cherubs. There is a mirror placed in the aisle for a better view of all the details of the ceiling. You can’t image how spectacular it is inside from what you see on the outside. It is an active church that holds regular services, concerts, and various other events. If you are in the area it is a fantastic place to go, the Witley Court is right next to the Great Witley Church, the crypt below was open when we visited (that is also worth checking out), and there is a wonderful tea room within walking distance.

The Firs: Birthplace of Sir Edward Elgar

The birthplace of Sir Edward Elgar, now in the stewardship of the National Trust, houses an extensive collection of Elgar memorabilia.

Reviewed By I2532GIsueh - Wilmslow, United Kingdom

The staff were so well informed , interesting and easy to talk to. It was a most informative visit even for non music lovers. My husband is a professional musician but I've little musical knowledge, yet it was still so interesting. The new visitors centre and shop and cafe have a wide choice of items. The menu was varied yet the cheese and orange marmalade sandwiches were amazing. We went round the visitors centre first then did Elgars birthplace The Firs on the same site. What lovely guides who welcomed us , they explained the rooms and the history. Easy access for all, except the upper floors of The Firs. The garden had musical instruments to try , even for me it was fun. Then in Elgars garden they have a bronze statue of him sitting on a bench looking over the Malven Hills, very clever. I really had a great day.

Witley Court & Gardens

Reviewed By christopherpF6906AH - Norwich, United Kingdom

we visited just after the Government lifted restrictions for museums and historical places ,operating an one way system and hand sanitizers in place. we went on a hot day and the walk through the wooded area was lovely and cool with some benches available to seat on which was nice. A must see is the fountain which turns on every hour absolutely fantastic sight , the ruins was also great it must had been a wonderful sight in it's days. Also a great area for a picnic if you fancy a nice cup of tea and cake then take a visit to the cafe.

Knapp & Papermill Reserve

A beautiful 27 hectare nature reserve of orchard, meadow and woodland nestled in the valley of the Leigh Brook.

Reviewed By Jackdog1947 - Macclesfield, United Kingdom

We visited whilst on holiday nearby. The Reserve is in a beautiful, peaceful location, due to this parking is a bit limited but we did visit during the school holidays. The trails are well marked with items of interest. In addition paths led off to various other locations. During our visit quite a number of volunteers were at work on various project. A previous visitor had remarked about school children "stomping around in wellies" WELL good for them and full marks to their teachers I say, there's plenty of room here for all to enjoy and great for children to learn whilst being outdoors. Very well worth a visit.
