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

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 !

I have been here about 10 times now and each time, it has not failed to impress. The bars are well staffed for that pre-theatre drink but if I have to comment, the theatre's café/restaurant is too small for the venue - a lot of folks would love to eat here before the show but space prevents this. There are lots of places to eat near by however. The theatre is slap bang in the middle of town with lots of places to have a bite to eat and a drink before, during and after each show. Staff are very friendly and willing to help wherever they can and due to its size, every seat has a good view of the stage. They get a number of tour plays and pre-West End ones, live music is also catered for although they tend to have tribute bands rather than the real thing.

Ice Quest

Real ice rink, laser quest arena, bar, amusements and arcades. Fun for all the family rain or shine!!

Reviewed By D4156QEcarolines

As a regular skater at Ice Quest have to say i love this place - the procedures implemented due to covid 19 are excellent and make u feel safe. The price is £10 including boot hire so reasonable - but thats it no parking on top. Rink is smaller than standard rinks but plenty big enough to practice and it is smooth. Drinks and refreshments are available and again reasonably priced. There is music and lights on the rink, and at weekends the in house coach Chris is on hand to assist both visitors and more experienced skaters taking lessons. If you get hooked theres the learn to skate lessons. Last year i had Chinese visitors and the boys loved laser quest. A family run business with friendly and knowledgeable staff love this place.

Priory  Park

Reviewed By suo675 - Chippenham, United Kingdom

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.
