End Hill is the northernmost top of the Malvern Hills and provides excellent panoramic views across the Hertfordshire and Worcestershire countryside.

This spout, formerly known as the Cowleigh Spout, is on the left as you leave Malvern on the Cowleigh Road, almost opposite the Worcestershire Way car park. The springs are in an adjacent field and their daily output is 10,000 gallons, with much running to waste. Unlike many of the other natural water sources of the Malverns, Cowleigh Spout maintained a healthy flow even during times of severe drought, such as that in 1921, and on many occasions was the sole supply over an extensive area. During the construction of the North Malvern Tank in the 1870s, when the supply from the Morris tank was cut off, the inhabitants walked the half mile from North Malvern to this spout for their household's water. This rural idyll was witness to the 'dirty' hordes of Birmingham hop-pickers who flocked to the countryside for their annual working holiday. "Cowleigh Spring was the resort of many hoppers on Sunday, the "crystal streams" being freely used for their ablutions. They borrowed a piece of soap and had a "wash and brush up, the pocket handkerchief doing service as a towel". The Madresfield Connection The original spout was replaced with this one by the 7th Earl Beauchamp. He was later immortalised as Lord Marchmain in Evelyn Waugh's Brideshead Revisited. The wording on the tiled surround reads: "This fountain was presented to the people of Cowleigh by William Earl Beauchamp 1905." The Earls Beauchamp lived at Madresfield Court, three miles away on the opposite side of the hills, and the cisterns behind the fountain originally supplied the Court, four farms and a dozen houses on the Madresfield estate. The spout fed a tank on Cowleigh Park Farm. In the 1870s, a three-inch iron main was laid to Madresfield via Dyson Perrins School, Tanhouse Lane and Newland and a 30,000-gallon reservoir/header tank at Lower Woodsfield Farm enabled the supply thereafter to be gravity fed. The laying of the supply is recorded in the local paper of 7 Dec.1872, titled `New water supply to Madresfield Court': "For some time past, the route between Madresfield Court...and the famous flow of water at the entrance to `Cowleigh Park', known as `Cowleigh Spout' has exhibited a line of excavation, in which mains have been deposited for the conveyance of the overflow of water at the spout for use at Madresfield Court. The work is now all but completed." The village was put on to the main public supply shortly after 1955 following concern about possible contamination. A sample analysed during the 1980s suggested a similar composition to the Schweppes Pewtriss Well. The tanks behind still overflow copiously and are maintained because they supply several local households with water. In 1995 water was reinstated at the public spout as a result of the efforts of local enthusiasts. Since then the area around the spout has been the subject of various initiatives to make the area more user friendly in recent years. There are now steps from the car park at the rear, which once housed the bottling works tank. Also the area in front of the spout has been restored and drainage improved. The Madresfield Estates Trust still owns about 50 acres of land behind the spout together with the nearby Cowleigh Wood, but at some time in the past the ownership of the spout changed. In 2007 the Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty managers when implementing the Heritage Lottery Fund enhancements unsuccessfully tried to trace the owners of this fountain. What they did discover was that the properties across the road from the fountain had a right to the water and in the case of The Byre it was a gift in perpetuity from the Beauchamp estate for bravery in the Great War.

Tank Quarry is one of largest quarries that can be found on the Malvern Hills. Located on the north-eastern side of North Hill, the quarry faces reach approximately 100m in height and are 80m wide at the base. The geology of Tank Quarry dates to the Precambrian, approximately 680 million years ago, which means that these rocks are some of the oldest exposed in England. The clear quarry face enables amateurs and experts to study the complex nature of the igneous and metamorphic geology on display. The quarry itself is not accessible however the rest of this large site has many accessible rock faces, a geology trail, interpretation boards, picnic area, wonderful view across the Worcester plain and a carpark. Tank Quarry is a Community Conservation Champions site. The ‘Champions’ are a loosely knit group of volunteers who are actively involved in the maintenance and public promotion of 19 geological sites spread across the counties of Herefordshire and Worcestershire. They are engaged in a wide range of activities which vary according to the nature of the site. Source: geopark.ork.uk

The magnificent sculpture of the buzzards (see photo below) was created by Polish sculptor Walenty Pytel who oversaw the installation. The sculpture was funded by Malvern Town Council, Malvern Hills District Council and private donations. The Malvern Gazette reported it is not the first time that Mr Pytel has made a sculpture to mark a royal jubilee. In 1977 a Silver Jubilee commemorative fountain depicting Great Britain’s heraldic beasts was unveiled outside the Houses of Parliament. A plaque below the sculpture records: Malvern Buzzards Created by Walenty Pytel Marking the Diamond Jubilee of  Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II  2012 Unveiled by HRH The Duke of Gloucester KC GCVO 12th March 2013

A house named Rose Bank appears in the 1841 census of Great Malvern. It was the home of Mary Ann Wilmot the widow of Sir Robert Wilmot 2nd Baronet (1753-1834) of Osmaston Hall in Derbyshire. The Wilmot family lived at Rose Bank from about 1840 to 1880. Lieutenant General Eardley Nicholas Wilmot of Rose Bank was named as a magistrate in the 1873 Post Office Directory. In 1826 his sister Mary Ann married General Sir Richard Church at Worthing. The 1871 census confirms she was the wife of General R Church KCH who was then in the service of the King of Greece. The 1901 and 1911 census recorded Rose Bank occupied by George Silas Guy born about 1837 and his second wife Hannah. George's occupation was recorded as 'managing director of an iron and steel tube manufacturory'. George Guy died in 1912. Rose Bank House, which had double fronted bowed windows offering panoramic views over Worcestershire, and its large gardens were purchased by local benefactor Charles William Dyson Perrins in 1918 and gifted as an amenity to the town of Great Malvern in Worcestershire, UK. Rose Bank was used by the Womens Royal Voluntary Service (WRVS) during WWII, but, according to reports, the house fell into decay and was demolished in 1959, a year after Dyson's death. The gardens today Rose Bank Gardens, situated above Belle Vue Terrace, to the south of the Mount Pleasant Hotel remain an attractive place to walk, rest, and access footpaths onto the hills. A notable feature is a sculpture of two buzzards in flight, installed in 2012, to mark Queen Elizabeth II's Diamond Jubilee.
