Malvern Hills, Worcestershire

Just an hour's drive from Birmingham and the Malvern Hills dominate the skyline.  The town of Great Malvern is partly built on the hill and so the walk upwards doesnot seem so bad.  The Worcestershire Beacon is the highest point of the Malverns.

St Ann's Well half way up the hill, where the spring water flows into a marble font ( through the archway)

The Malvern Hills are 8 miles long and are the source of the town's springs and wells.
