Malvern Hills

Malvern Hills lies along the western edge of the Severn Valley, where a north–south ridge rises sharply above the plains of Worcestershire and Herefordshire. Great Malvern occupies the eastern flank beneath wooded slopes, while routes along the ridge cross open commons and higher ground. The town developed around Malvern Priory, a former Benedictine monastery founded in the 11th century; its church retains notable medieval stained glass. In the 19th century, Malvern became a spa resort, with local spring water central to its hydrotherapy tradition. At the southern end stands British Camp, an Iron Age hillfort on Herefordshire Beacon.
