Gentle cattle that are very well suited to life on the hills

Lady Howard de Walden had this drive build during the 1890's to give employment to local people but also to provide an enjoyable route for horse drawn carriages around North Hill. It is one of the most used paths on the Malverns, and provides fine views across to the Beacon. especially when the trees of Happy Valley are in autumn colour.

There are quite a number of these direction arrow stones on the Malverns, they look good and they are very informative.

North Hill is a very good viewpoint - but this image was taken on the way up to Table Hill, which is next to North HIll.

The Talbot is a particular favourite, they brew their own selection of excellent beers, and the food is superb too! It is also in a great location alongside the River Teme and below Ankerdine Hill. The little chapel in the photo above is actually the Knightwick Mortuary Chapel, and it is up a nearby hill, about 3/4 of a mile from the Talbot.

North Hill is the second highest point of the range of Malvern Hills that runs about 13 kilometres (8.1 mi) north-south along the Herefordshire-Worcestershire border, although North Hill lies entirely within Worcestershire. It has an elevation of 397 metres (1,302 ft), making it the highest point of the Worcestershire Way. The eastern flank of the hill lies directly behind Worcester road in Great Malvern from where its summit is a brisk 15 – 20 minutes steep walk from the town centre via St Ann's road and Happy Valley. A path from the car park in North Malvern follows the lower contour of North Hill to Happy Valley and St. Ann's Well. Although the flint route from North Wales to Wessex lay to the north of Malvern, there is some evidence to suggest that traders passed over the Malvern Hills. Parts of an arrowhead, scraper and flint flakes have been discovered between the North Hill and Table Hill. A 19th-century guide book describes both a collapsed burial mound on North Hill named the Giant's Grave and a tump on Table Hill. These tumuli may have been connected to the Dobunni settlement in Mathon. A track that runs along North Hill was known as the "Pyx Path" and was used by the priest from Worcestershire when bringing Sacrament to the hermits that lived in Malvern in the 11th Century. It was also referred to as the "Pixie Path", as it was believed to be used by fairies. The Lodge spring can be found at the foot of North Hill, off Worcester road. The ornamental fountain has a small spout and basin that is similar in design to those at St Ann's Well.
