Malvern is at the northern end of the '''Malvern Hills''', a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. This is a 9-mile long range of hills, rising up to 425m above sea level at the summit of ''Worcestershire Beacon''. With around 100 miles of footpaths and bridleways criss-crossing the hills, this is a very popular area for walking and cycling.
