| Cool Hill to finish the Malvern Ridge. The spirit of the Malverns is the prevalence of ancient fortifications. | tumpawumpa | 29/10/2019 |

| Revisit, this time from British Camp carpark via the reservoir. A fine September day with excellent views to the Black Mountains, Clee Hills and Cotswolds. Excellent hillfort, had a proper look at the eastern section that I didn't visit last time. | thesweetcheat | 02/09/2017 |
| An OTT shelter near the summit - but erected for the right reasons. | summitter | 25/08/2017 |
| From Hollybush car park up good path. A passive friendly dog was attacked by a belligerent Jack Russell at summit. The stupid owner had left his little dog off the lead and he claimed he hadn't seen the other dog. Five minutes later he had his dog off the lead again when it attacked another dog. Inconsiderate idiot. | Campbell Singer | 15/08/2017 |

| Parked at Hollybush car park to south and walked up on western side of quarry. Splendid view point over green field patchwork, the Malvern spine and impressive Eastnor Castle.

| Colwall Station- Herefordshire Beacon- Millennium Hill - Swinyard Hill- Midsummer Hill- Somers Obelisk- Colwall Station (return much lower on the ridgeline).
