Malvern Hills

Despite their relatively moderate height (1,000ft/300m-1,400ft/427m) the Malvern Hills offer marvelous views. Their highest point is Worcester Beacon (1.395ft/425m), from which there is an extensive view across the plain and on to Worcester Cathedral, Gloucester and Hereford. There is a fine walk from Worcester Beacon along the ridge to the Hertfordshire Beacon, with remains of a hill-fort.
