Top 26 things to do and attractions in Great Malvern

Thoroughly enjoyed taking a walk around Great Malvern Priory on Thursday 31/07/25. A peaceful & well maintained area, I didn't have time to go inside the church & just by browsing outside your surrounded by so much history. I'm sure I would have known more information about the Priory is I'd gone inside. I will defiantly re-visit the Priory when back in the UK from Australia in a couple of years to visit close family in Upton.

One of the best architectural masterpieces we can explore with silence. Great area to visit glass painting. If you are interested in architectural ancient churches, then Malvern priory should not miss it from your list.

The Priory of Saint Mary and Saint Michael is another house of the holy worth visiting. The Archangel Michael called a time out on his battle with Satan to escort the mother of Jesus, both body and soul, up to heaven. The powers that be thought they'd name the priory after both of them. Satan was left drumming his fingers until the battle could begin again after Mick's return. We've got the usual stuff, windows, a ceiling, woodwork with a patina, hassocks, no cossacks.

Wonderful church with a different type of construction and feels very calm inside. Outside the church is surrounded by big trees and gives us a very positive vibe, feels very relaxed after spent some time in church ⛪️

Lots of history to this Church and a popular place to visit. They even have a small play area to keep young children entertained. The staff were excellent providing very interesting facts.

A must place to visit if you're in Great Malvern. Excellent stained glass windows and fantastic architecture everywhere you look. Has a nice little shop that sells local books and souvenirs. Also, don't forget the view through the keyhole at the far end. Highly recommend a visit here.

A wonderful discovery, stunningly beautiful and the surrounding countryside is superb. Don't miss out on this jewel and its history.

Gorgeous views and not too physically challenging with a short walk from the car park right into the hills with a choice or concrete paths around the hills or more rocky, stone paths up and over the peaks

Beautiful place. One of the best hikes. There are several walking paths to reach up to the hills.

Escape the noise and pollution of the Cities and towns, of Human beings and head to the Malvern Hills in Worcestershire for breathtaking views. BE NURTURED BY NATURE Highly recommended 👑👑👑👑👑

Wonderful place if you fancy a hike but don't want to climb a real mountain. It feels like a walk and you end up on the highest peak point of the hills. Sheep and yalk farm alongside. And stunning view of the towns on mountain foothills. Bring umbrella or rainsuit according to the weather as there's no shelter in case it rains or even if there are clouds. Because you eventually climb up into the clouds themselves.

We parked at west England quarry car park. And went up. First, we went up the smallest hill. It was really easy. But rocky to get back down 🪨. And then it was quite a walk to get to the Worcestershire Beacon. To get up to Worcestershire Beacon, it’s really steep at first, but when you get to this path, it’s easy. You can either go around or straight up another steep bit. I went up the steep bit so I can get more fit and have good muscles. Overall, it’s great to go if you’re an experienced walker. But you can still do it if you’re a beginner (like me) and you should come here if you’re local!

The Malvern Hills are listed as an "Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty". After a visit you will see why. Spectacular views to be had, overlooking Worcestershire on one side, and Herefordshire on the other. You can also see into the neighbouring County of Gloucestershire and also into Wales! You need to be pretty fit, and sure footed to scale the hills. It is quite a challenge to anyone who is pretty fit. There are several places to enter the Hills. One of the most popular being "British Camp". there is a good sized car park there. You do have to pay, but I'm not sure of how much? The Hills are lovely to visit at any time of year. No restrictions as to when you can and can't go. No charges. all free except for parking your car. Plenty of information about on various websites, for walks, views, entrance points etc. Dog friendly too. To walk from end to end is about 10 miles. When I was at school we did it every year as a sponsored walk. You will need most of a whole day to do it. Well worth it if your fitness is up to it.

Beautiful place to visit, Beautiful views and a lovely walk.

I had the chance to take a short visit inside Malvern Theatre on Monday 04/08/25 & looked around inside during my stay in the UK from Australia . It's been years since I last visited inside the Theatre, perhaps sometime in the 80's before moving to Australia. The exterior & interior looks very impressive being much more spacious & modern, café inside & many leaflets about different shows + local info. Also the gardens/Park also looks very well maintained. Very friendly & knowledgeable staff inside who made me very welcome.

Absolutely loved the show, it was an inspiration! But didn't love the prices at the bar. One vodka and tonic, one pint of fruity cider, one packet of pencil sweets and a twix and guess how much.... £21! I would have happily paid it if some was donated to cancer research, like Rhod's show. I looked around and noticed everyone else in the theatre was drinking hot drinks and I understood. What a shame, they don't realise that putting the prices so high actually negatively affects the sales. Won't make that mistake again. There's a brilliant bar just around the corner called Weavers if anyone wants a good pint, that's fairly priced and there's plenty of choice on tap as well.

We attended for the matinee of "2.22 a ghost story" on Wednesday 24th. What a very pleasant surprise, the theatre was great, large open area for dining & drinking, great views over the park. The seating in the auditorium was comfy, with great leg room. The best part was the play, the acting was great, plenty of jump moments & twists, with a healthy number of funny bits. Highly reccomend seeing it wherever you can.

We recently visited Malvern theatres to see the Dead Ringers 25yr tour. The theatre is well placed in the town and there are several car parks within walking distance. There are two bars and a restaurant and an outside terrace area. We think it’s a great little theatre and have seen many shows there in the past few years.

SIX was great. The show was organised extremely efficiently, even with a full house. Great facilities and a speedy service at the bar. Its such a fantastic venue and we are so lucky to have it on our doorstep.

Lovely central location in Malvern. Great to have a choice of venues including a cinema. The all day cafe is a nice relaxed place to meet, with indoor and outdoor spaces- outdoors have great views! Not a great choice of food, but the coffee was good. Lots of steps (typically for Malvern).

This is a really great venue. Easy, cheap, parking at the back of the leisure centre makes it very easy to get to. We try to go here as often as we can and have seen pantomimes, ballet, plays and great comedians.

Fantastic park in Great Malvern situated just below the theatre with views of the Malvern Hills. Beautifully kept ponds, areas to picnic, children’s play area is amazing.

Priory Park was named after Peter Priory, the first man to sail single-handedly around Great Britain. He achieved this feat in August, 1621. The journey was particularly treacherous going through the English Channel due to the frequent ferry journeys between southern ports and Europe. Peter shouted himself hoarse trying to get them to move out of his way. He was also attacked by penguins whilst sailing around Scotland. He had to amputate two of his own fingers due to being savaged by a John Dory passing the Isle of Man. Peter was born in Malvern, the townsfolk honoured his achievement by building the park in his name.

Really beautiful gardens with lots of play equipment and many seats and benches some under cover . On a sunny day you can buy ice cream and the nearby theatre has coffee and other drinks

A lovely area , great park for the kids and live music was playing which was lovely I don't give a full five stars as the shop on site has ridiculous prices 2 bottles of water and 2 cans of Pepsi was £11 which i think is awful price. So I would recommend bringing along a picnic. Otherwise it was quite nice.

The views in this park always mesmerize me. It’s just lovely. They also have great wooden playground for kids, which my son find very entertaining. Usually there’s ice cream and drinks available to buy, if not u can always pop in to the theatre coffee shop (located in the park).

Good young band playing today as part of the summer series of Sunday afternoon music concerts in the park.

Lovely park for kids, for family picnics or a quiet drink from the theatre bar. Fantastic band stand that has music on summer Sundays. Ice cream bike doesn't seem to be there anymore, and it could do with some picnic benches.

Small but perfectly formed museum, with a tiny section on early radar.

It's a two stored small museum which explains the history and development of Malvern. The museum building is constructed in 1400's. It explains the Malvern history very nicely. It have an entry fees of 2.5 pounds. Audio guide is included in entry fees.

I reckon it's possible to have a butcher's at everything in Malvern museum in less than two minutes. It's a teeny weeny place, only four small rooms with exhibits. Normally two and a half quid to get in, which is more than acceptable as it's the only money it gets to survive. For some reason Saturday is freebie day. Nice geezer at reception, he knew his stuff and spoke enthusiastically about the contents of each room. Only three stars? Sorry, I've gone back to comparisons with the Ashmolean. Worth a visit if it's raining outside, which it was. The roof doesn't leak.

A lot of history here...also they hold markets depending on the day

This was such a nice little excursion. I enjoyed learning all about the rich history of the hills of Malvern. Have your phone charged to take the audio tour. I’m so glad that I took the time to visit. The staff were all so wonderful. 🥰

Great little museum with a wide range of items to look at. It tells the local history very well. Was GBP2.50 to enter. Took around an hour or so, but I didn't read everything.

Very impressed with what's on display. Great audio guide. Helpful staff member. 👌

Great views and walks all along the Malvern hills

Small hike of 20 minutes from car park. Great views & can spend easily an hour here as a tourist. If you are a hiker, it has a link of 3 hills connecting each other so you can hike around 2.5 miles in total around all hills.

Plenty of car parking around the hills. Many paths of various grades that crisscross the hills to get you to the summit. Views are well worth it. There is aka path that goes along the ridge between the hills. Well worth a visit if in the area.

beautiful view, especially during the sunset

Had a fun climb up here, there are many different pathways you can take to get up to the beacon, and on the way the view gets better and better. Had a big load of fun climbing this hill! When you get to the top there is a sign to show you you have reached the summit and tells you the height of the hill and there is a giant map and compass to show you what you’re looking at. You can see wales from this hill! You can’t beat climbing a hill, admiring the view and eating lunch while looking off into the distance. There’s a good bit of wind even on a scorcher because you’re at the top of a hill too. Would recommend those who can to climb this hill.

Amazing walk very worth it! Hard on the way up but takes not long at all to get down! Recommend parking next to priory park

First time visiting great malvern , & walking up the Worcestershire beacon. Did it with a 5kg rucking bag & set off up to the hills. Beautiful view all the way up though town & st anns well . It took me 1hr 36 mins to reach defiantly worth it why its challenging and hard . You be so thankful why you did it and take in the wonderful views & fresh air..and its a great feeling you have reached the Worcestershire beacon summit.

A beautiful and well maintained garden! We paid £6 to enter and also had a RHS card, so free to go. We bought our dog with us and she enjoyed wandering around the paths with us. There were plenty of flowers blooming and a riot of colours everywhere! We perched on some of the benches to stop and look at the flowers! It’s so peaceful and there was something different to look at, at each turn. There’s no toilet or catering facilities. The nursery had a great selection of plants for sale!!

An exquisite plantsman's garden with adjacent nursery. They host the National Collection of Michaelmas Daisies, which were at their absolute best during our visit in mid-September. The gardens are densely planted with so many interesting plants. The visit was a joy.

Visiting during a holiday in the area in June and fairly keen gardeners, we had to pop in and have a look around while we were here. This is an interesting nursery and garden with an entrance fee of £5 a person to have a look round the garden. I've added a few photos and we found the variety of plants really interesting. If you are a gardener it is worthwhile visiting. A friendly word from the woman in the nursery, when we arrived too. A good welcome and but for a long journey home and a few days before we left, we decided not to buy any plants (for once) though we're tempted.

A nice small garden in Herefordshire overlooking the Malvern Hills. We had mixed weather end of the summer, some rain. But when the sun came out, so did the bees and butterflies etc. No café here, but was one down the road in Colwall Stone. The toilet in the small building behind the barbecue area. Nice and clean.

Beautiful garden with great display of asters. Very neat and well laid out. Loved it

Beautiful gardens, interesting guided tour telling us all about the history of the garden and the plants. Stunning display of michaelmas daisies at the end, quite breathtaking. No refreshment facilities on site but a lovely cafe not far away.

In Malvern on holiday, searched the app for gardens locally, and this came up. What an absolute treat and inspiration of a place, with a great welcome!! Small but felt bigger and the opportunity to buy one of the flowers I loved seeing. We came away with lots of ideas for the garden we want to grow one day. Highly recommend going! Bonus 🌟 for the lovely doggie who kept bringing me sticks to throw!

Nice little park in the middle of Great Malvern. Fantastic views over the Severn valley to the Cotswolds, taking in Malvern Abbey. Some beautiful, metal sculptures of birds by local artist Walenty Pytel.

Beautiful Rosebank Gardens: a peaceful spot filled with vibrant flower arrangements. Head to the back of the gardens and follow the winding path up to Foley Terrace, which leads you onwards to the tranquil St. Ann’s Well.

First time here and its a really nice garden with 2 metal statues,pretty flowers ,lovely location and view looking onto the hotels and can see the top of the cathedral .

The first Winter Olympics were held in Chamonix, France, in 1924. Rose Bank Gardens was chosen as the training ground for the British team. The park was ideal for the ski team due it being entirely built on a hill, unfortunately it failed to snow at any point during 1923 or 1924 therefore the British failed to win any medals due to lack of practice. The ice hockey team managed to come third in Chamonix despite there being no ice in the park, they built up their stamina by playing water polo in the duck pond. The Winter Olympic committee realised they had made a mistake in their choice of training grounds and future practice was moved to Scotland.

Nice well kept town garden on the edge of the shopping area. Good views to the priory and beyond.

Beautiful. You can gaze into the distance. Just be careful it’s slightly steepy

Lovely any time of year. Well kept. Peaceful despite being beside main road.

Steep walk up to the well. Tarmac path through the trees is in good order. Disappointingly the room the well is in needs some significant refurbishment. Instead of just locking the wrought iron gate, the well is barricaded behind ugly blue plastic fencing, so it can't be clearly seen. Just take out the plastic stuff! Cafe only open Fri, Sat and Sun.

Lovely walks to it ,(some paths quite steep). Nice sitting areas outside. The room with the well in could do with a bir of a clean up to be honest, but worth a visit. Sadly didn't have time to try the cafe

A hidden gem in Malvern a bit of british history

Picturesque location after a steep climb. Unfortunately the visitor experience and cafe are still closed.

Close at 15.30, overall disappointing experience.

Friendly staff at the café, prices quite reasonable too. Nice to have somewhere to sit after a strenuous walk.

Still closed. Nice picturesque location. The well is locked behind bars

Well worth a visit! The atmosphere is awesome and staff are amazing. Matt was great friendly and funny. Helped make sure our visit was memorable. Will visit again!

What a pub!!! Hidden from the main strip, but we'll worth a visit! Dog friendly and has the most beautiful German shepard called Baron! Matt was amazing and was very chatty and made us feel very welcome. Beautiful pub great atmosphere and brilliant staff !

Wonderful little pub on the way up or down from the malverns. Met Baron the dog! Sat in the beautiful garden in the sunshine 🌞 Josh was very accommodating, great guy! Made us feel very welcome! We will definitely be back!

Visted this quaint little pub at the bottom of the Malvern hills today. Such a pleasant atmosphere and couldn't have been made anymore welcome by the landlord Josh. Nothing was too much hassle for him. He provided water for my dogs and I had the pleasure of meeting his dog Baron. If you ever get the chance to visit Malvern then this pub is a must !! Thank you, will be back.

Wow, what a find. After a long walk up St Anne's Well onto the Malvern Hills we decided to stop here for a well earned drink. Sat in the garden area at the front and watched the world go by whilst resting. Josh was extremely helpful and friendly and by the looks of the boards there is lots going on so we will definitely be back, thank you!

Amazing food real home cooked food. The steaks taste like no other. Lovely pub very quirky and rustic but lovely atmosphere.

Empty apart from us two,it was only 5 pm though. Apparently the Thai restaurant attached is very popular,and has great reviews, the European menu didn't have the beef which we wanted so we didn't eat here. I tried several ales but nothing tasted outstanding. It seems worth another visit though, I hope it was an off night.

Enjoyed my stay in Malvern Worcester and the Weather Was really nice for a change ' nice n Sunny and Warm '

Pleasantly called back a short while after I tried. Extremely useful, clear, concise and accurate advice on the best path for us to climb the hills given by someone called Nathan. The walk to the beacon did take the 30 min walk he said each way. Also thank you for the useful advice on where to eat in the town.

Very polite, informed and friendly young man.

Friendly, well run place, with lots of interesting and informative maps, leaflets, and books >> long live our tourist informations, libraries, public toilets and such like!

We visited for advice on a good walk and to buy a fridge magnet for my mom! Building is lovely and in the perfect spot. Lady who helped us was fantastic, a great example of the warm friendly people the area has.

We called at the Malvern Tourist Information office a few days ago to enquire about camp sites in the area. Nathan couldn't have been more helpful. His knowledge of the area is impressive and he has an obvious desire to help. This office is a fantastic asset to a delightful town.

Visited this Tourist Information Centre during the week Lovely place with great friendly and knowledgeable staff - great to speak to a human being who is local and knows the area Came away with maps and also a street map and advice on train stations , pubs and where things were! A real treasure trove and well worth visiting and using and this place must be kept open - I hate looking things up on the computer

Easy place to get to, staff at the H2O cafe are a friendly bunch. Good spot for the reason being there which wa to hire a mobility tramper and get up that hill.

What a lovely place loads to look at

Probably a great refuge if you're walking through on the Geopark way but othwise a rather disappointing visit with a few boards on geology and a small guide book selection. More cafe than information centre. Would i visit again? Probably not.

Fantastic customer service and a brilliant experience on this safe Tramper for my aunt who unfortunately during lockdown lost her husband and had to cope with the restrictions within a care home. How wonderful to do this!

We needed to hire some mobility wheels to go up the hills with. Coffee and tea good, basic food menu but fine.

Cake was so tasty. Service was delivered quickly and with the biggest smile ever. What a friendly place. Thank you.

Brilliant cafe with awesome staff.

Lovely venue. I did yoga here for a while and the building and room had a cozy warmth to it. Looking forward to the various events that they put on throughout the year. Lovely gardens to. Highly recommend a visit if there's something on that interests you.

A beautiful Victorian house modernised sympathetically to create amazing spaces for all sorts of events. Exhibitions, concerts, classes, meditation, gatherings complete with bar and kitchen. Perfect.

Beautiful building,went to art studio week,wonderful

An excellent exhibition space. The current pieces were varied and brilliantly executed- the vast majority were textile art demonstrating a huge range if skills and techniques. The tea and cake were welcome too!

Came today for a contemporary craft fair. It's a beautiful building with a lovely garden and view and the crafts on display were excellent. We had a lovely cup of tea and a piece of strawberry and elderflower cake for a very reasonable price and it was a very very nice morning out!

Saw the Stop:Start textile exhibition which was absolutely fabulous! The venue was very pleasant with a relaxed welcome and a simple cafe area. The house has been beautifully restored. I'd recommend the venue. One little niggle. The 2 low hanging lights above the piano cast an annoying glare obscuring artwork on the wall by the door. This may have only affected shorter people....

Beautiful old renovated building . With room to hire for functions . Not too expensive

Outstanding nature beauty. It was an amazing experience, during the entire hike. Great to arrive at the top of North Hill!

Popular with families, dog-walkers, joggers, and mountain cyclists. At the peak you get one of the best views in the country.

Incredible place

Fantastic views from here across into Wales and towards Bredon Hill and the Cotswolds.

Great walking around and up to the top of North Hill, malvern.

Lovely views and especially scenic on clear sunny days.

It's a hill. It's steep too. My Galaxy health app worked overtime.

Natural water best taste

Fresh water from spring

Fantastic venue for our private party last Saturday! The staff at the Cube were brilliant, from planning beforehand with Lucy and Christian, to the event itself with Shay, Steven and Suzy - everyone was really helpful, attentive, thorough and friendly. Our band was able to set up without hitches, and the one or two pieces of equipment we forgot were easily replaced by something in-house! The room and bar looked great, with the paper lampshades, the tablecloths and the lamplights. Also it was great that you were able to set up some tables outside as the weather was perfect. The whole experience was excellent, from first planning to final clearing away! HIGHLY RECOMMEND TO ANYONE THINKING OF HOSTING A PARTY/EVENT!

Attended a wedding here and the space was great but the staff were just so helpful and friendly, nothing was too much to help make the wedding work. Especially big thanks to Neil who stayed late to help us put the hoops up!

A brilliant versatile venue. Despite the not so appealing architectural style on the outside, nice lighting, welcoming staff, lovely cafe and bar make the inside feel warm and welcoming. Constantly improving, adding a host of amazing community events. A great music venue too.

We recently hired the Café space and Orange Room on a Sunday afternoon for a gathering to remember our Mum’s life. The venue could not have been better for us. The building has a welcoming vibe and the garden at the front is lovely. The café space with chairs and tables, as well as some small sofas and armchairs, was ideal for the celebrant to speak, and for people to sit, talk and eat afterwards. The Orange Room had more than enough folding tables for our buffet plus additional chairs. It also has a projector, so we were able to have a slide show of photographs. Being able to have the folding wall between the 2 rooms open made it all feel very accessible. The Cube Manager, Michelle, was extremely helpful and the hire cost was very good value. My Mum loved dogs, so it was great that they are allowed in the building. We would totally recommend The Cube for an event such as ours.

Group of 8 cyclists visited The Cube for refreshments and snacks. We were made very welcome. A bit limited on the snacks available but the toasties and cakes were of the highest quality. A great pit stop after cycling from the Stourport and Stourbridge areas. Some of us have been there previously and will visit again. The bikes are safe at the rear of the building, visible from the cafe room. Peter T (STOURBUG).

Lovely community venue with lots of events on by various people. Really nice grounds and free parking for people using the event space. Just a shame it doesn't have baby changing facilities available

Saw Scott Matthews play here, first time visiting, what a great little venue, it was a fantastic gig, and there is a lovely little bar, very chilled atmosphere, plenty of (unreserved) seating, beautiful outside space, which was very welcome on a warm summer's evening.

A great hidden gem in a beautiful village setting. Amazing food at reasonable prices. Friendly staff and fast service. Highly recommended.

When you go and stay in a rural village you are reliant on the local pub being friendly, serve good food & drink and an atmosphere to relax and enjoy. Thankfully, as we stayed next door, this is a place that does it all very well. An excellent and extensive menu that made it difficult to choose just one and customer service above and beyond. We went for steak pie & katsu curry if it helps you to narrow down your decision, my stomach is rumbling just thinking about it now.

Simply amazing! Some of the best food I have had the pleasure of eating. Good portion sizes, well presented and cooked to perfection. The staff were very polite and attentive which helped provide a lovely atmosphere. We will plan another holiday up this way in the future for the sole reason of being able to eat here again we enjoyed it that much. The only downside is the lack of parking, particularly if you have a full size SUV so arrive early as you may have to search down the really narrow lanes before you get lucky.

Lovely, quaint, traditional family pub with exceptionally friendly staff. The atmosphere is spot on for a that Cotswold vibe.

This is an absolute gem of a pub with a proper food menu, courteous and considerate staff, good seating options, a nice beer garden - and overall a terrific place to spend an afternoon. Even though our group was delayed there was no concern about the booking and the general feeling was one of relaxation. Excellent!

Well on a holiday, We went to The Yew Tree on GREAT REVIEWS. Well was SO disappointed. Bar lady with blonde hair in her 40ish was not welcoming at all no smile and was drinking White Wine while working. The roast beef was presented to use then 10 minutes later the vegetables and 5 minutes the gravy arrived,we asked for horseradish,salt pepper which was another 5 minutes. The roast was cold.The meal was outstanding,if was warm,l would like to say great chef..The young girls was working hard.

Lovely pub. The inside has had a spruce up in recent years and looks great, despite being quite small. Great food, and drinks are very reasonably priced. I think it might be. Butcombe owned pub, now. The beer garden used to be quite special at The Yew Tree, but jts looking a bit tired now. Still a nice spot for a beer in the sun though.

I've never been there,in fact, I've never been across the pond. However, this place caught my eye back in 1987 or '88 when I read Hans Holzer's fascinating book "The Great British Ghost Hunt". Holzer mistakenly mentions the Herefordshire beacon as the Hereford beacon in the chapter "The countryside is full of ghosts". I'd like to quote Holzer here: But the most chilling episode in her unusual life happened while she was still a little girl, living at Gloucester House, Malvern Wells, about a mile from her aunt. Not far from there is an artificial hill called the British Camp, also known as the Hereford Beacon. It is situated on the main road from Malvern to Ledbury and is one of the higher hills in the area. The summit of it is terraced and is, in fact, part of the old Roman earthworks which were built in this area. “I had a very fiery French governess named Chevalier. One afternoon we were walking on the Hereford Beacon and sat down to rest. I remember clearly the sound of sheep cropping the grass and that wonderful scent of juniper. Suddenly I heard the tramping of feet that grew heavier, and over the Malvern Hills to the Beacon came a long line of men marching. We were on the east side of the hill, looking down over the reservoir toward Eastnor Park. There were hundreds of men, some mounted cavalry with a standard-bearer and the rest foot soldiers. I was only six at the time and had not yet started history. The men wore what to me looked like skirts, but there were helmets with plumes and a standard-bearer with a huge bronze-colored eagle. I called to Mademoiselle to hurry and get out of the way and dragged her to one side. She was naturally very shaken, but the men vanished as they reached a certain point of the Beacon. I was fascinated but not afraid, as they seemed quite real. I was sure that we would be walked into, since they marched without breaking line or seeming to give way. But Mademoiselle did not see them. She yanked me home to my aunt’s, and I was considered to be ill and was put to bed with aspirin.” Mrs. Warren-Browne’s family is Roman Catholic, and the entire area around Malvern is one of the strongholds of English Catholicism. Evidently the family had discussed her strange behavior with a friendly priest, Dom Rodger Huddleston, of a distinguished Roman Catholic family. The following morning, Father Huddleston came to see the little girl. “As we sat in the garden he talked to me quite casually about what I had seen,” Catherine recalls, “and he told me I must have seen ‘a picture in time,’ for the Roman legions fought a big battle against the Britons and Saxons in this area. He also told me that Cerdic, the Saxon leader, was often seen riding when war was about to break out, and that many people in the area had actually seen him.” (As told by Elizabeth Warren-Brown to Hans Holzer)

Great views and excellent walk

Amazing walk did it for D of E which was nice

Beautiful panoramic view of part of Malvern and neighbouring areas in Herefordshire.

Great views great walk

Iron Age Hill Fort on top of the Malvern Hills.

Lovely shop with selection of different arts and crafts from local artists. Items responsibly priced and well presented. Great place to find a small gift or new wall art. Also sells cards and wrapping paper.

An absolute treasure trove of art and crafts by local people. A wide range of crafts are available, unique and novel pieces which you won't get anywhere else and very diverse artwork, covering local scenes, figurative, abstract and much more. Pieces are moderately priced, great value for money . A delight to visit.

What a lovely gallery, filled with little wonders and the staff are lovely. I purchased a painting by Caroline Haffield of an orangutan, he (Tangu) looks at me every day with such a knowing smile and I can't help but smile back.

This gallery is full of well made crafts and paintings by local members. Well worth a visit when looking for that unusual and individual present.

Quirky and varied arts and crafts. Check out the unique mathematical art prints, which have fans around the world.

An eclectic mix of gifts and Malvern ware from hats to books. Well worth a visit

Excellent local crafts and books.

Great park. Lots of fun things for toddlers to play with and older kids. Exercise equipment for adults and table tennis tables, tennis and basketball courts. Nice little community space for hire and cafe for ice creams. Plenty of free parking.

Great for our homeschooling group… Now that there are toilets and a lovely friendly cafe area. Very helpful…

Useful place to take youngsters. Large grass areas, basketball courts, swings, roundabouts, climbing, slides, zip-wire - although some is in need of repair. Younger children recently catered for but far less equipment than previously. Handy recently opened cafe, toilets, community room.

Great time had by 6yr old grandson. Loved the zip wire especially!

The playground is nice but the small skate park which used to be there was ripped out by the council 🤷🏼‍♂️and replaced with useless cafe 🫠

Theirs this one guy that always comes to the park and just destroys the hoop it’s terrible he’s already destroyed one hoop he really should’ve fined he literally just smashes this rock solid ballon the glass hoops every day

Lovely park for all ages and nice cafe there 😀

Alan restored a 100 year old family painting which had been ingrained with years of smoke from tobacco and coal/wood fires. From the very first contact Alan was informative and very clear about the work needed and the cost/time it would take. I was prepared to wait the anticipated 3yrs but surprised when it was finished earlier. The finished result is so good all the colours jump out of the picture. My great great grandad who painted the picture was a real amateur who painted for fun but Alan has now given us a picture that will hopefully be in the family for another 100 years. A truly talented man.

Alan is hugely knowledgeable and very skilled. I asked him his view on what needed to be done to conserve a much-loved 300 year old Dutch portrait that had become rather tired. I very much enjoyed the preliminary sleuthing Alan did with his UV light, which revealed a lot of interesting detail about the physical history of the picture. We considered in detail the best way forward, and he and I agreed that minimal conservation would be sufficient and would best preserve the picture’s “story”. He cleaned the picture and repaired bits where necessary, and the result was stunning. All the colours and detail came to life, without making the picture seem ‘restored’. He also revived the gilded intricate wooden frame, but then ‘aged’ it so that it was not too shiny. Overall, he managed to achieve a very sensitive restoration, with which I was delighted, and might I add, he did this for a very reasonable price. He told me it would take him a few months because he was busy, and it did, but the wait was certainly worth it, and anyway, who wants a speedy restoration?! I cannot recommend Alan highly enough.

Alan did an absolutely fantastic job on cleaning up a painting that had a lot of sentimental value to us. It was a painting my late wife had done but in one of her many redecorating urges, she had taken the painting down and (unbeknown to us) stored it in the garage unprotected. There it had got bent, dirty and had mould on it. Alan cleaned it up, touching parts up where needed and reframed it, and it now looks exactly as we remember it when it was up on the wall. Thank you for a first rate job.

Alan restored a very old and much loved oil painting and frame which had fallen off the wall and suffered significant damage including a rip in the canvas. The result was extraordinary and the painting looks fabulous......really glad we found him!! Price was reasonable and Alan was a pleasure to deal with. Would highly recommend.

We are absolutely delighted with Alan’s restoration of our large portrait and original old frame which needed a great deal of work. It has been done with expertise and sensitivity and looks amazing. We would thoroughly recommend Alan and it was definitely well worth staying on the waiting list. Thank you Alan both for your work and care and also for your interest in our inherited painting and its likely history. Margaret and Andy

Alan has just cleaned an oil painting that has great sentimental value to me. He managed to fit the work into his busy schedule and has done an amazing job. The picture has been truly brought back to life and has been re-stretched nicely into its frame. Can't recommend Alan's work highly enough. I am delighted.

I am so impressed with the way Alan has restored my painting. It had been mistreated for many years and had some bad scuff marks and water damage. Alan removed the old varnish, removed the badly done over-painting, filled and touched up where needed and re-varnished. He also sensitively restored the frame. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend his services.
