A great view on the way up to the obelisk.

One of the finest hills in the Malverns with it's Iron Age Hillfort (yes another one on the Malverns!), and superb views west across Eastnor Park. It used to be heavily wooded on the Eastern Side, but Ash Die-back disease has caused a huge number of large mature Ash trees to be felled in recent times. This is still a hill to be savoured and you will not see too many people here either.

This is quite a spectacular place but quite rightly the Conservators and local authorities have securely fenced it off as there have been a large number of drownings here over the years. People have jumped off the low cliffs inot the freezing cold water and have also collided with old machinery and vehicles that are hidden under the water.

A logical location and viewpoint for a commemorative obelisk, it is visible for miles around.

Good picnic spot - I'm sure there used to be benches but bring a mat. Unless you like sitting in sheep poo!

Midsummer Hill rises in the southern part of the Malvern Hills and is a very worthy objective. Site of a former hillfort, along with neighbouring Hollybush Hill, it provides extensive views, with the impressive Eastnor Castle visible in the Herefordshire countryside. A hike to the top could be combined with Herefordshire Beacon to the north, or a longer outing traversing the entire Malvern ridge.

Swinyard Hill is a hill in the Malvern Range, a line of hills that runs approximately 13 kilometres (8 mi) north-south along the Herefordshire-Worcestershire border. Swinyard Hill lies north of Midsummer Hill and south of Hangmans Hill. It has an elevation of 272 metres (892 ft). Source: Wikipedia

Midsummer Hill is situated in the range of Malvern Hills that runs approximately 13 kilometres (8 mi) north-south along the Herefordshire-Worcestershire border. It lies to the south of Herefordshire Beacon with views to Eastnor Castle. It has an elevation of 284 metres (932 ft). To the north is Swinyard Hill. It is the site of an Iron Age hill fort which spans Midsummer Hill and Hollybush Hill. The hillfort is protected as a Scheduled Ancient Monument and is owned by Natural England. It can be accessed via a footpath which leads south from the car park at British Camp on the A449 or a footpath which heads north from the car park in Hollybush on the A438. The hillfort is very unusual in that the ramparts enclose two hills and the intervening valley. Bowden speculates that the spring within the valley "enhance[s] the position of the hillfort as a site of symbolic value". Source: Wikipedia

If it's a good warm day..good reading

Fine views to Eastnor Castle and the rolling hills of Herefordshire - and all the way to Wales.

Beautiful place to stop and have a cuppa or some food! Views to Eastnor Castle are amazing.

Gullet Quarry in Malvern is a stunning natural oasis nestled amidst the picturesque Malvern Hills. With its crystal-clear turquoise waters and towering cliffs, it offers a unique and refreshing swimming experience.

Cool little street, very shambles esk

Very pretty little side street with some cafés, museum and shops. Worth a visit.

Nice, shady and cool woods with lots of well marked paths and limited amount of people. Great for a walk with your dog, in summer and winter!

Nice church in a nice town.

The main face shows a cross-section through most of the Preambrian rock that makes up the core of the Hills. The face itself exhibits many rock types including diorite, granite, gneiss, schist, pegmatite and dolerite. The evidence of the complex history of earth movement which formed the Hills can be seen by multiple joints, fractures, faults and shears, which make identifying changes in rock types difficult. Within these features mineral deposits such as haematite, calcite and epidote can be found. The nature of the contact between the Malverns Complex and the overlying Silurian rocks has been a matter of debate for many years, although the balance of opinion now favours an unconformable relationship. A fault which cuts the Silurian sequence and extends into the Malverns Complex below is probably of Upper Carboniferous age, associated with the uplift of the hills.'

Quite arduous but we did this on the hottest day of the year. There is one place where the footpath appeared to be blocked and we ended up wriggling under a fence. Would have liked more woodland walk (a lot of paths run next to woods in the open) but overall a great success. We stopped for iced coff at the woodshed and paid to go into the castle grounds ( butnot the castle) where we walked around the lake, sat and read our books and used the truly outstanding toilets. Because of the heat warnings there were few people about. Overall a great success and we made it back to Ledbury sweaty but unbowed.
