See Morgan cars being hand-made
frenchderek Says: All you need are six people with an interest in hand-built cars (well, hand-built anything) and a bit of flexibility re dates. Call Morgan Motors and fix a date for a visit.Not only are you left to wander through the factory at your own pace (following the marked trail) but...
Malvern Museum - small but fascinating
SallyM Says: Malvern Museum is housed in the gateway to the former Malvern Priory, all that now remains of this Benedictine monastic house apart from the Priory church. It is a small museum, but interesting with rooms devoted to different periods in Malvern's history: the Medieval...
Pauldelabar Says: You can collect your thoughts while walking along through the magnificent scenery with fantastic views.There used to be a cafe on the top of the hill but, sadly, it was demolished. It quenched many a weery travellers thirst for numerous years. you have to bring your own...
DUNK67 Says: The Malvern Hills are some of the prettiest around and a walk along the top of them is well worth it. The view from the top of Beacon is second to none, you can see for miles around. St annes Well is on the side of the hills, here you can tste natural spring water, the very...
Malvern Hills and the Worcestershire Way
Galahad Says: Malvern is at the foot of a very popular hill, or ridge of hills. They are administered as "Common land" by the "Malvern Conservators". During the Victorian heyday of the town various footpaths, of different gradiants, were laid out. Along the ridge, or running close to it,...

The Blue Bird has been a tea room for a long time. The composer Elgar, who lived in Malvern, visited it. But that isn't why you should go. You should visit it because it is simply the best tea room I have come across so far.
It is on an upper floor, with windows giving a good view of the centre of Malvern. The rooms are pleasant, and the china is good-quality. There is a wide selection of teas and coffees available as well as breakfast and lunchtime snacks, and of course tea-time treats.
Favorite Dish: We had the most delicious scones still warm from the oven, which came with a choice of jams (strawberry, raspberry, blackcurrant or greengage). Wonderful.

Address: Centre of Great Malvern
St_Vincent Says: Traditional nice looking old pub which is well presented and very welcoming. There's comfortable seating with part of the pub given over to an eating area. The beer was good, they have three real ale pumps serving some local beers and the local CAMRA newsletter was...
The Unicorn: "Sustenance for the inner man"
Pauldelabar Says: After slogging up and down Malverns hills, upon returning to your starting point at the top of the town, there, right in front of you is this vision of heaven, the Unicorn Inn! To a thirsty and hungry walker, this could not be more welcome than if it were the Ritz!Hot food...
Malvern Theatre and Winter Gardens: Mrs Warren's Profession
Galahad Says: A very professional production of G B Shaw's "Mrs Warren's Profession" with numerous well known actors and actresses. This was jointly produced with Theatre Royal Bath and Theatre Royal Haymarket, London and directed by Peter Hall Smart casual
There are 2 railway stations that serve Malvern, as the third (Malvern Wells) was closed and demolished in the 60's.
Coming from the Birmingham direction, the first station you will arrive at is Malvern Link. The next station on the line is Great Malvern, and this is the station that you need to get off at for the town and also for the hills, as it saves extra walking.
If you have an Ordinance Survey map of the area. (I recommend the 'Pathfinder range' of scale 1:25000 which is 2.5 inches to the Mile or 4cm to the kilometer ). You may wish to alight at Malvern Link and walk around to the hills by the different, longer route.

Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: If you go walking the hills, the weather can change in an instant. So take a warm waterproof covering with you.
Toiletries and Medical Supplies: Insect repellent in summer is an advantage when hill walking and I recommend 'Autan'. Available from chemists and good supermarkets.
Photo Equipment: Camera and binoculars for views from the top.
Camping/Beach/Outdoor Gear: A drink or at least a bottle of water is needed in summer when hill walking as there is no cafe at the top any longer.
Miscellaneous: An 'OS' 1:25000 'Pathfinder' map No. 1018 may be useful, and a compass.
Updated Aug 25, 2005
On the sumit of the tallest hill there is a 'Toposcope'. This tells where all points of interest or importance lie and there compass bearing from that point.

Favorite thing: Morgan cars are all hand made and, consequently, there is quite a waiting list for delivery.
The picture shows the new Aero 8. The latest car in Morgan's range.

Malvern is a very Victorian town to which I go occasionally. I suppose it consists of a group of communities that have grown into one another. What most people call Malvern is in fact Great Malvern....
