The Malvern Hills sit roughly halfway between the cities of Birmingham and Bristol. The 12-mile ridge-line falls within three English counties: Worcestershire, Herefordshire and a small part of northern Gloucestershire. The Malvern Hills are roughly a 30-60 minute drive from the centre of the Cotswolds, and almost three hours from London.
The highest point on the Malvern Hills is Worcestershire Beacon, which rises 425m above sea level. Here you’ll find a toposcope, installed in 1897 to commemorate Queen Victoria’s diamond jubilee.
There are lots of paths around and across the ridge that make spontaneous walks easy. However, if you like to plan your route and mileage, here are two suggestions:
MugHouse, Claines
Set in St John’s pretty churchyard, the 700-year-old Mug House is one of perhaps only two pubs in England on consecrated ground. Enjoy good beer and hearty home-cooked food under cosy beams. 01905 456 649, themug.co.uk

We’re in Edward Elgar country here, too. The composer was born in Lower Broadheath (you can visit his birthplace cottage, The Firs) and spent his final years in Marl Bank, a grand Worcester residence. He is buried with his wife Caroline Alice in the tucked-away churchyard of St Wulfstan’s. Of this resting place, Elgar wrote of the “illimitable plai...
