Great Malvern: Route to the Hills
Find out about the hardships of the Victorian water cure, the life and inspiration of Edward Elgar, secret Second World War research projects, medieval monks and a royal donkey!
The route begins at Great Malvern railway station. From there it’s a steep but short walk towards the town centre and the hills. You’ll find plenty to explore (and lots of benches and cafes) along the way. Look out for new artworks, information panels, pavement studs and quirky benches.
Allow at least 45 minutes from start to finish – and don’t forget to pick up your free guide book from Malvern Tourist Information Centre or Malvern Museum of Local History.
Come for the day and see what you’ll discover.
