White Leaved Oak is a delightful and quirky hamlet tucked away between Chase End Hill and Ragged Stone Hill. It comes complete with its own set of stocks and a great noticeboard!

Chase End Hill is the most southerly and the smallest of the Malvern Hills, but it is a beautiful hill that is both shapely and has fine views in all directions. Also a great place to watch the sun rise.

One of the finest hills in the Malverns with it's Iron Age Hillfort (yes another one on the Malverns!), and superb views west across Eastnor Park. It used to be heavily wooded on the Eastern Side, but Ash Die-back disease has caused a huge number of large mature Ash trees to be felled in recent times. This is still a hill to be savoured and you will not see too many people here either.

A logical location and viewpoint for a commemorative obelisk, it is visible for miles around.

The southern end of the Malverns are steeper and more wooded, though Ash Dieback has done for many trees. Great views to the west over Eastnor towards the Black Mountains on the Welsh border.

Good picnic spot - I'm sure there used to be benches but bring a mat. Unless you like sitting in sheep poo!

This wonderfully named hill towards the southern end of the Malverns is quieter and more wooded than the northern end of the ridge - though sadly Ash die-back has taken it's toll. When the weather is still and cool in the autumn or winter this can be a great place for low lying mist filling up the valleys below.
