Malvern Hills
We have three mapped areas along the ridge of the Malvern Hills, all of them able to support Regional events if car parking can be secured. From North to South these are: The Malvern Commoners are very supportive. There are several other areas close by, including Malvern itself, Malvern Common, Castlemorton Common, Hollybed Common to the South with Eastnor and Frith Wood to the North.
Malvern Common
Used for Introductory and other Local events. There are areas of rough grassland, park and copse, with paths, tracks and roads. Located on the eastern edge of the Malvern hills but gently sloping. Events held in earlier years:
Malvern
An urban area with plenty of variety – everything from parks, formal private gardens, sports grounds to common land and urban streets. Scroll down to see a location map, map snippet, infromation from previous events and some photos. Events held in earlier years:
Longdon, Wyre Forest
Longdon features typical undulating Wyre Forest terrain in mixed woodland. Events held in earlier years:
Lickey Hills
A Country Park very popular with Birmingham residents; good visitors centre with play equipment, toilets, cafe etc. Curently “owned” by COBOC but often “borrowed” by HOC for Local events. Can be very confusing; the combination of multiple paths, ditches and steep slopes with mixed woodland is tricky. The Northern part of the area (separated by a fast and dangerous road) can be used for small Local events and is known as Beacon Hill. Events held in earlier years:
Leasowes Park
Suitable for Local events. Mostly steep parkland, some grass covered earthworkings, areas of run/slow run woodland and a golf course. Some interesting stream valleys. Suffers in part from nettles and brambles in the summer. Events held in earlier years:
Kinver Edge
Often used for Regional as well as Local events. Steep sandstone escarpment with lots of crags – some of them famous. Flat and fast plateau above escarpment, interesting spur and valley terrain below. Mixture of open naturally seeded birch, open heath and run/slow run conifers. Few brambles but bracken is a problem June to October The views from ridge down onto birch woods are very nice on a spring evening, and the National Trust Rock Houses are fascinating to visit….
