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

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.
3. Picton Garden
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 49 reviews
A small family run garden and plant nursery. The garden is 1.5 acres and packed with unusual plants including the Plant Heritage National Collection of Michaelmas daisies. Although known as an autumn garden with the daisies peaking late September and early October, there is a plethora of interesting trees, shrubs, bulbs and other herbaceous throughout the year. The nursery beside the garden was established in 1906 and has always specialised in Michaelmas daisies stocking many of the 420+ varieties grown in the collection. We are passionate about plants and about the garden, with a huge knowledge base to work from. We are a traditional plant nursery not a garden centre, you will not find a cafe here, nor compost, pots and tat but you will find people who love and care about what they do and who are keen to share this passion with any one in the slightest interested, whether you are just starting out with your very first plot or are already an expert.

Delightful, small but beautifully planted garden. Definitely best for Autumn colours and the extensive collection of Michaelmas daisies.

Reviewed By lancep334 - Great Malvern, United Kingdom
A fairly steep entrance path shows the beginning of the 99 steps to and ascent of the hills towards St Ann's Well and Worcestershire Beacon. The other end does not really go anywhere other than alongside the A449. Not suitable for those who have difficulty walking. The gardens were originally including a house bequeathed by Dyson Perrins which was demolished and now these are well kept by the council. During May, the Rose Bank well is dressed as are the other 60 or more natural springs around the hills. There are some benches available but very little shelter from the sun or rain. The gardens are surprisingly beautiful and a must visit place when staying in Malvern. This Route to the hills is also preferred to that going past the Unicorn pub since shorter and more direct.
