Welcome in and make yourself at home this Spring / Summer in The Malverns. You’re invited to put down your phone and tune in to your surroundings. Let nature in and give yourself a break from endless scrolling, AI feeds, unrealistic expectations and news alerts.
When it comes to wellbeing, we know a thing or two. We’ve been England’s wellbeing retreat for hundreds of years – since William Langland wrote one of England’s first poems about napping the day away in this tranquil spot. With our history as a spa town The Malverns is dotted with spa retreats, wild swimming spots, cosy hotels, off grid cabins and natural beauty; perfect for some time to completely focus on what really matters.
Reconnect with yourself, your senses, friends and family by unplugging from the matrix and getting all at one with the flow of The Malverns – things move a little more slowly around here.
Relaxation is kind of our thing, Maybe its the babbling streams of Malvern Water flowing gently from the wildflower filled hills, maybe its the way the light falls on the Teme Valley bringing forth apples, hops and vines crushed and brewed locally. Maybe its simply the vibe of the locals, on which the magical Malvern atmosphere rubs off creating some of the best works of art ever to come out of these isles.
Whether you want to head for some hydrotherapy, a yoga retreat, meditation classes, exploration of your artistic side or just do some plain old relaxing in the slow hum of the English countryside, The Malverns has something for you.
The Malverns is something of a hidden gem in the lesser known county of Worcestershire. Think of us as a quieter, more friendly, Cotswolds where you don’t have to be a member of the royal family or rockstar royalty to enjoy yourself!
You can learn about our history, hike to the top of the hills, enjoy the views from our award-winning vineyards or do, well, whatever you want. You’re supposed to be on holiday after all!
Friendly town centres of Malvern, Upton upon Severn and Tenbury Wells provide hospitable bases from which to explore the area. With independent shopping, plenty of cafes, as well as evening dining and entertainment, our town centre traders are ready to welcome you in. These businesses are happy to host your trip to The Malverns, and many are long time locals bursting with stories and insider info.
The Malverns welcomes you to walk the path of wellbeing, whatever that means for you, from climbing to the top of 650 million years of tangible history on the Malvern Hills, to sinking into tranquillity in one of our excellent spas. You can find health foods, veggie options and farm shops for days when you’re focusing on nutrition as well as indulgent treats for days when mental wellbeing is your priority.
The natural beauty of The Malverns is a sure-fire way to kickstart your overall wellbeing. Experiencing the seasons changing across the dramatic landscape with a walk, picnic, or something more involved can reduce feelings of stress, increase feelings of connectedness with nature and well as keeping the body physically active.

Visit Our Unique Towns
Each of our towns has its own unique character – Malvern is largely Victorian in make-up and clings to the side of the ancient Malvern Hills – Upton upon Severn traces its roots back into history due to its importance as one of the main crossing points on the River Severn – and Tenbury Wells has a long agricultural history as one of the key market towns of the area with national importance for apples, mistletoe, holly and hops.
Cycling Routes
The Malverns are perfect for cyclists: the Malvern Hills themselves have a number of bridleways offering sometimes challenging but ultimately rewarding rides off road along with quiet country lanes galore offering scenic tours helping you to discover the hidden beauty of places like the Teme Valley and some fine – and largely flat – riding around the Severn plain.
Where To Stay
On top of staying at one of the fantastic accommodation options across the area, there are plenty of health and wellbeing activities for you to take part in, whether you want improve your health and fitness in the great outdoors; visit a centre hosting a range of therapies and treatments; brush up on your favourite pastime; learn a new skill; engulf yourself in local history; enjoy some ‘independent’ retail therapy, or simply enjoy some incredible locally sourced food and drink produce – for an authentic experience.
