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.

The most southerly Malvern, with fine views south to May Hill.

Enjoy the walk up from Clifford Mesne, and then taken in the expansive views. Don't miss the copse at the top, planted to commemorate Queen Victoria's Golden Jubilee.

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.

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

Marks the southern end of the Malverns - fine view south to May Hill in Gloucestershire.

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

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.

Doable on an MTB, but not by me without an electric motor.

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

Amazing views from the Chase Hill Trig Point. You can start or finish the Malverns end to end walk here and there is Chase End Car Park close by

The National Trust Monument on Mid Summer Hill.

In the south of the Malvern Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Chase End Hill offers fantastic views across Herefordshire and Worcestershire. The 627-foot (191 m) summit sits on the county border and is marked by a trig pillar. The Geopark Way, a long-distance footpath linking geological sites together crosses the hill while the Three Choirs Way passes around its eastern edge.

Distinct and visible for miles around, May Hill has a little hat of trees on top. A Marilyn, it lies just north of the Forest of Dean in Gloucestershire and two named trails cross it: the Gloucestershire Way and the Wysis Way. Enjoy the far-reaching views from the summit towards the Welsh border and over the River Severn.

A nice little hike in the English countryside to take in a May Hill. At 295m it is a UK listed Marilyn so one less to do.

Fresh drinking water bubbling out from a sacred well - skinny dipping optional! Woods around offer great wild camping too.

Highest point in the area (Trig point) Very good views. Benches in the close to sit down and enjoy your lunch. Plenty of trails to follow from here
