Cycling is allowed but on bridleways only.
About The Malverns
A Mountain Range in Miniature
The Malvern Hills are protected under Acts of Parliament and the oldest rocks date back more than 600 million years.
The highest point is the Worcestershire Beacon at 425 metres above sea level and an Iron Age Fort sits at the top of hills, thought to date back before the Common Era. It has subsequently been extended by a Medieval Castle.
Famous for its natural mineral springs and wells - Malvern bottled water is sold worldwide!
