Malvern is a historic spa town in Worcestershire, situated at the foot of the Malvern Hills, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
Renowned for its breathtaking landscapes, Malvern developed in the Victorian era as a popular destination for health and relaxation, thanks to its pure spring waters and elegant architecture. The town is divided into several centres, including Great Malvern, Malvern Link, and Barnards Green, each offering a mix of independent shops, cafés, and cultural venues. At its heart stands the magnificent Great Malvern Priory, with medieval stained glass and Norman architecture reflecting centuries of history. The surrounding Malvern Hills stretch for nine miles, offering panoramic views across the Severn Valley, the Cotswolds, and even the Black Mountains on clear days. Malvern is also closely associated with composer Edward Elgar, who drew inspiration from the area’s dramatic scenery. Today, visitors enjoy a blend of heritage, arts, and outdoor pursuits, making Malvern a vibrant destination that combines natural beauty with cultural richness
