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.
