If you love inhaling the fresh countryside air, pay a visit to the Malvern Hills. Just a 30-minute drive from the city centre, this Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty is famed for its dramatic hills and the pure spring water that flows from them. Enjoy a relaxed ramble or an energetic scramble through acres of established walking trails as you pass forts and castles, woodland and hedgerows, and rivers and streams. This area is a real habitat hotspot, so be sure to keep your eyes peeled for birds of prey, butterflies and bats, snakes and lizards and lots of other creatures who reside here.
