Welcome to MalvernTrail

A chance to enjoy the natural and cultural delights of the countryside and towns on and around the Malvern Hills, easily accessible in the Heart of England and also in reach of Welsh border country.

MalvernTrail information pages should be mobile friendly, but there may still be some links to old website pages – please use the navigation bar or the back button if you hit these. Some of the photo albums are in the old style.

The events listings are for locals and visitors alike; news items appear here sporadically. See below for the latest. MalvernTrail welcomes suggestions for additions or amendments.

News

Time for tea at Elgar’s birthplace, if you can park the bike?

Elgar’s Birthplace has re-opened today (1st Sept.) as a National Trust attraction. Reports on whether it is a suitable cycling refreshment stop welcome.

As they note, Elgar was a keen cyclist – the old museum did have a cycling map of his on display at one point. So doubly sad that the cycle racks didn’t quite make it for opening day. See this tweet from @NTTheFirs.
