The highest point of the Malverns, with great views.

watch your speed

There are some lovely places to stop and just look on and around the Malvern Hills, and this is one of them.

A super nice cycleway that goes along the banks of the Severn and beyond. The surface is super good and avoids busy road sections. A good alternative if you were doing the LEJOG like us.

The old bridge is out of action at the moment due to damage during floods. It is being repaired - slowly!

The Swan Inn Gastro Pub - great food even better beer garden - Highly recommended pricy but worth it 👌

The Worcestershire Beacon, also popularly known as Worcester Beacon, or simply The Beacon, stands at 1394 feet (425 metres), making it the highest point in the Malvern Hills and indeed in the county of Worcestershire.

A brilliant, relatively new cycleway along the River Severn. I would recommend visiting Diglis Pass (opening hours can be checked here - https://canalrivertrust.org.uk/things-to-do/museums-and-attractions/diglis-island-and-fish-pass/drop-in-sessions-at-the-fish-pass).

Close to the H2O Café. Public toilets here too! Sometimes an ice-cream van 👍🏻

Very pretty road

Nice place with spectacular views.

Worcestershire Beacon, also popularly known as Worcester Beacon, or locally simply as The Beacon, is a hill whose summit at 425 metres (1,394 ft) is the highest point in Worcestershire. It is part of the Malvern Hills which run about 13 kilometres (8.1 mi) north-south along the Herefordshire- Worcestershire border. The hills are managed by the Malvern Hills Conservators under five Acts of Parliament of 1884, 1909, 1924, 1930, and 1995 whose aim is to preserve the nature and environment landscape of the area and to protect it from encroachments. The Beacon is highly popular with walkers with its easily reached dense network of footpaths crisscrossing it and the area has been designated by the Countryside Agency as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The steep eastern flank of the hill begins immediately behind Bellevue Terrace, one of the two main shopping streets in the town centre of Great Malvern from where its summit is a brisk 35 – 40 minutes steep walk via St Ann's Well or Happy Valley. It can also be accessed by a short, steep, unpathed climb from Jubilee Drive on the western side, or reached by a more leisurely stroll along the crest of the ridge from a car park near the Wyche Cutting, a mile or so to the south of the town centre. The Beacon affords an extensive panoramic view[6] that includes the Lickey Hills near Redditch, The Wrekin and past Birmingham to Cannock Chase, as well as much of Herefordshire and Gloucestershire, the Welsh border mountains, the Shropshire Hills and across the valleys of the Severn and Avon to the Cotswold Hills. Parts of thirteen counties, the Bristol Channel, and the cathedrals of Worcester, Gloucester and Hereford can be seen. Running due east from Worcestershire Beacon, the next highest point of land is on the western slope of the Ural Mountains. The hills are mostly igneous and metamorphic rocks from the late pre-Cambrian, around 600 million years old and the Beacon is part of the watershed that permits the rise of the mineral springs and wells of the famous Malvern water that is bottled commercially on a large scale and sold worldwide, and they were responsible for the development of Malvern from a village to a busy spa town in the early 19th century. Hundreds of millions of years of erosion and glacial passage have given the Beacon and its neighbouring peaks their characteristic smoothly rounded features. The hill itself appears to mark the northern terminal of the Shire Ditch, or Red Earl's Dyke, which runs north and south of the British Camp along the ridge of the hills. It was created in 1287 by Gilbert de Clare, the Earl of Gloucester, following a boundary dispute with Thomas de Cantilupe, the Bishop of Hereford. Recent research has shown that the Shire Ditch might actually be much older. Indeed, there is some evidence that it may have started life as a prehistoric trackway running from Worcestershire Beacon to Midsummer Hillfort. The hill is also the site of two Bronze Age burials. In 1849 two urns containing bones and ashes were uncovered by Private Harkiss whilst conducting work for the Ordnance Survey and documented by Edwin Lees, a local antiquarian. The remains were attributed to the Middle Bronze Age and are now housed in the British Museum. The Worcestershire Beacon has historically been used as a location for signalling beacons. In 1588 it formed part of a chain of warning fires which were lit when the Spanish Armada attempted to invade England. Beacon fires were also lit to celebrate national occasions including the end of the Crimean War (1856), the marriage of the Prince and Princess of Wales (1863), the Golden Jubilee of Queen Victoria (1887) and Diamond Jubilee (1897) the coronation of George V (1911) and the Coronation of Queen Elizabeth II (1953). In recent years it has been used as a beacon for special occasions such as the millennium night of 31 December 1999 when a large fire was lit as part of a nationwide network of hill top beacons to celebrate the event. A beacon fire was also lit on the Worcestershire Beacon on 3 June 2002 to celebrate the Golden Jubilee of Elizabeth II, on 4 June 2012 to celebrate the Diamond Jubilee of Elizabeth II. and on 3 June 2022 to celebrate the Platinum Jubilee of Elizabeth II. On the summit is a viewfinder or toposcope, identifying the hills to be seen on a clear day; it was designed by Malvern architect Arthur Troyte Griffith, a friend of Sir Edward Elgar and erected in 1897 to celebrate Queen Victoria's diamond jubilee. It was stolen in 2000 and replaced by Malvern Hills Conservators the same year. The original was returned to the Conservators in 2001. During World War II the Beacon was used as a fire lookout point for air raids on Birmingham and Coventry, and in the latter half of the 20th century it was used regularly as a location for a BBC transmitter relay van for covering horse racing and sports events in Worcester.

Croome Court has been a stately home owned by the Coventry family since the 16th century. The house and gardens today where re-built in the 18th centaury with landscaping by Capability Brown. Home to a RAF base during WW2 there is also a RAF museum at the entrance. Café and facilities but you will need to pay to enter unless you're a NT member.

Decent pub with bike friendly beer garden. Open Monday to Saturday 8am to 10.30pm, Sunday 8am to 9pm

Today, Powick is home to three pubs, but it was historically the site of a psychiatric hospital and a Victorian power station, and these intriguing buildings are well worth a detour to see. The old bridge over the river Teme is a Grade I listed structure and was built in medieval times.

Part of the NCN 46. A lovely, leafy cycleway on the banks of the Severn. Lots of benches to stop at and have a break whilst taking in the views.

Great 360 views. Bring a brew and enjoy the view!

Classic and relaxing chilled ride along the River Severn in Worcester. Keep your speed down, share the path with others... and just enjoy the scenery.

Highest point in Worcestershire. Amazing views over the Malverns, on the right day 😉

Fantastic views over three counties. Wales to the West. Malvern Hills Hotel highly recommended for good food.
