The hills that inspired Elgar and a town that lifts the spirit
Great Malvern is one of the most beautifully situated towns in England. The Malvern Hills, that dramatic ridge of ancient Pre-Cambrian rock, rise directly behind the town to the Worcestershire Beacon at 425 metres — the highest point in the county, with views across fourteen counties. The town itself climbs the hillside in a series of Victorian terraces, villas and public buildings that speak of its heyday as a fashionable water-cure resort. The Priory Church has magnificent medieval stained glass. The Malvern Theatres host the renowned Malvern Festival. The springs that made the town famous still flow. Elgar lived, composed and walked here — the Enigma Variations were written in a house on the hillside. The Morgan Motor Company, the last family-owned British car maker, has its factory in Malvern Link. The surrounding area includes the villages of Colwall, West Malvern, Malvern Wells, the Leigh Sinton countryside, and the approach to Ledbury and the Herefordshire border.

Ridge walks and priory glass for a first meeting
Malvern has exceptional first-meeting settings. The hills themselves are the standout — a walk along the ridge to the Beacon is one of the finest experiences in the Midlands. The Priory Church is peaceful and magnificent. The town centre cafes have character and hillside views. The springs walks are interesting and easy. Eastnor Castle, towards Ledbury, has a dramatic lakeside setting. Upton upon Severn has waterside character. For a gentler walk, the paths around British Camp hillfort are atmospheric and easy.
