These disused and now flooded gravel pits are now a haven for all manner of ducks, waders and geese. The area is also perhaps surprisingly quiet so the birds don't get disturbed, and so if you are a bird watcher, this is a great place to go.

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.

Summer Hill is a bit of a bump in between the Beacon and the Wyche Cutting, however it's steep southern aspect does afford some of the best views along the Malvern Hills ridge, particularly when there is an Inversion happening.

The Croome 'river' is actually a long thin artificial lake, but it looks like a real river. There are great views all along it, such as the fan tree, and the bull-rushes that catch the frost in winter.

great place for a rest/ picnic

The hill lies to the south of the Worcestershire Beacon, which is Worcestershire's (and the Malvern Hills') highest hill, and Summer Hill's summit, though often overlooked given the grandeur of its neighbour, is a most respectable 1,253 feet above sea level. Source: Wikishire

Another of the many mini peaks

Nice place with spectacular views.

Nice view and parking nearby.

From the peak of Summer Hill you get fantastic views of Worcestershire Beacon and the beautiful winding road that leads up to it.

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.

Great views from here

beautiful hidden lake at old quarry

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.'

Quarry filled with Malvern spring water. Previously a popular swimming spot. No longer allowed

The closest car park to Summer Hill is West of England Quarry Car Park. There are also 3 other car parks about 1/2 mile away: Earnslaw, Upper Beacon and Lower Beacon car parks

Directly south of Worcestershire Beacon is the smaller Summer Hill. Its eastern flank is scarred by an abandoned quarry: Earnslaw Quarry Lake. However, the site is now an excellent spot for a picnic on a walk up to Summer Hill, with parking available at Earnslaw Quarry car park.

Earnslaw Spring is at the southern end of Earnslaw Quarry. This spring supplies Earnslaw Lake with water. Today this Site of Special Scientific Interest is a secluded haven of wild life but this was not always the case. Earnslaw was one of the last quarries in the Malvern Hills to practice mass removal of stone, although there are indications that it was worked as early as 1836.  Earnslaw Pool is yet another image of what was once a quarry and is now a rather deep pool. A potted history is that an Alfred Earnslaw owned the quarry where, starting in 1836, granite was extracted. Out of the proceeds Alfred built Earnslaw House nearby, the drive to which from the main road now provides the access route to the pool. The house was demolished in 1936. Four years earlier there had been a serious landslip caused by the quarrying leading to a legal action against the quarry by the Conservators of the Malverns, which they won. Damages and costs were awarded against the quarry in the amount of almost £6000. By the 1960s the quarry was almost worked out and the then Worcestershire County Council purchased the site and handed it over to the Conservators. Part of the quarry filled up with spring water forming the pool we see today. Apparently there are fish in it. The quarry is now part of the Malvern Hills Site of Special Scientific Interest.

Real chilled out spot nice and shaded too, tread carefully as the ground is very uneven.
