Free car park to E. Visited trig and summit. | PGCE | 03/02/2024 |
5th hill of 6 today. After Dripshill, a short 2 minute drive to Northern car park and then a very easy walk, first North up near a pond then on grassy track before heading up to summit area near a large tree. i headed over to the Trig point before heading directly back to the car park. | Dazingdale | 29/10/2023 |
Circular hike from Old Hills car park-New Coppice-Woodsfield Coppice-Madresfield-Home Farm Plantation-Bills Hill-Heriots Farm-Falconers Farm-Oaks-Old Hills car park | manilena | 22/10/2022 |
Dirt car park to the SE. Walked up to trig pillar first, then onto the HP. Some sledgers around but thin layer of snow melting so very muddy under foot. | jonglew | 30/12/2020 |
From Madresfield | Toobuddy | 06/07/2020 |
Gentle stroll up from cp to the east. | Hoppity | 21/08/2019 |
Ambled up from car park via trig (Elm Bank). Passed couple of detectorists at work and heard a strong beep: 'That'll be the Old Hills hoard then?' - I suggested. 'Wish we got a £ for every one of these we find' - she said, holding up a dead rifle bullet! | Aye Jimmy | 21/04/2019 |
Great Malvern to Lower Wick (Worcester). Good perspective over the city as well as towards the bigger hills. | Smudge | 03/11/2018 |
From car park to east via trig- very squelchy today | Mark Sims | 15/03/2018 |
rounded, flattish summit is near trig, possibly by brambly bank. Clear views. Skied there from Great Malvern en route to Worcester on lovely day. | Denise | 11/12/2017 |
A rare opportunity, by ski from Great Malvern to Worcester. Great snow, blue skies and sunshine. Visit trig then onto the levellish summit. Excellent clear views. | RichardM | 11/12/2017 |

From car park to trig and then to HP by trees. Shame no clear view of Malvern Hills | PeterD | 28/03/2016 |
From car park on B4424 to trig then summit. | Ramblingpaul | 18/02/2016 |
As others. Top seemed to be near a large tree and patch of brambles. Trees block views of the Malverns. | Herbert Anchovy | 03/02/2016 |
4.10pm with Colin Henshall about150m north and 4m higher than the trig | vegibagger | 18/02/2015 |
Common land managed by Malvern Hills Conservators and popular dog-walking area. Flattish summit area north of TP probably has several spots of very similar height. | milimana | 10/01/2015 |
Ample car parking alongside road to the east then an easy ten minute walk across gently rising grass to the summit. The top is well away from the trig point. Disappointing views due to tree cover just below the top. | moorsman | 20/09/2013 |
From car park by B4424 at SO 82964 48720. Visited trig then featureless summit at SO 82603 48891. | David Gradwell | 25/04/2011 |
