- Located in the county of Worcestershire, and around 30 miles southwest of Birmingham, is the town of Malvern.
The town is comprised of several local communities, with the largest being Great Malvern - the subject of this walk. It is situated on the slopes of the Worcestershire Beacon, a hill whose summit is the highest of the Malvern Hills range.
Malvern formed in the 11th century around Great Malvern Priory. This was originally a Benedictine monastery, but repurposed after the Dissolution of the Monasteries of the 16th century into an Anglican parish church, which it remains to this day.
Malvern is home to a number of natural mineral water springs. It is alleged that the medicinal properties of these waters were known since the Middle Ages, although it wasn't until 1756 that they garnered significant attention thanks to a treatise published by Dr John Wall extolling their curative properties. Bottling and shipping Malvern water soon became big business. In 1842 Dr James Manby Gully and Dr James Wilson set up water-cure clinics in the town, with some notable Victorian "celebrity" customers, including Charles Dickens, Charles Darwen, Florence Nightingale and Lord Tennyson.
In 1859 the railway arrived in Great Malvern. With it came an influx of tourists, including day trippers from as far out as Manchester. Hydrotherapy declined in popularity towards the end of the 19th century. As a result many Victorian hotels were converted into private boarding schools and rest homes.
The first motor car in Britain, allegedly, was built in Malvern between 1887 and 1889 by T. C. Santler. The Morgan Motor Company was founded in 1910 in Malvern, where it has produced motor cars right up until the present day. Hundreds of cars are built each year, all assembled by hand, with a waiting list for a car ranging anywhere from six months to ten years!
Due to its quiet location, Malvern was chosen to be the wartime refuge of several government departments. Secret research was carried out here, including the development of radar for aircraft detection, which was to prove decisive in the Battle of Britain, and ultimately, the Allied victory. The scientific establishment stayed on after the war, with further innovations to follow including flight simulators, cathode ray tubes, LCDs and touchscreens.

My grandad lives in Malvern and it’s one of the best places I’ve been to,very quite and peaceful and beautiful countryside,if you need somewhere peaceful to get away then Malvern is the place for you!
Spent the summer of 1977 in this lovely English town to brush up on my English (from Spain). It caught me in the midst of Queen Elizabeth’s silver jubilee. I learned to appreciate the great connection the Brits have with their monarch (at least back then). Fell in love with After Eight chocolate and had my first Coca Cola on a can. Memories that tickle my soul. Thank you, Malvern, for filling my childhood with such lovely memories 😊
Was born in malvern now live In Austra😂😂😂lia great to see it hasn't lost its magic
I lived in Malvern Wells from 1968 - 1970 and went to School in Malvern and walked the parks and town centre many times. It seems to me that absolutely nothing has changed in 55 years, including that old banger outside the post office.
What a beautiful and historic town. One of the best. Thank you for sharing the views.
Thanks! Yeah there aren't many towns like it.
A very nice town, very English, seems a good few of the people are of retirement age, hope you had a pint in The Unicorn, looked a nice pub. Thanks for the walk through Malvern. 👍👍
Well I did have a train to catch. Otherwise that would have been a great idea!
