for me malvern is just hills it''s a fantastic view a brilliant ramble up if your walking the dog or tiring the kids out it''s especially lovely on a clear day malvern only has a basic handful of shops and when i say basic i mean basic there''s bigger retail parks on the edge of it where they have a matterland and a argos theres also a little theatre that is popular remember going to it as a child
Another attraction of malvern is the malvern splash it''s actually a decent fun pool which my children have enjoyed going to on numerous occasions it has a couple of slides is split into sections and is actually warm it''s quite affordable too it''s some where the kids will enjoy
Malvern is easily accessible from Worcester about a half an hour drive there''s also a good bus and train service there it''s a very rural area which surrounded by it''s fantastic hills I''ve only ever been into malvern to walk the hills or swim and on a couple of occasion to work i recommend anyone who enjoys walking to ramble up those hills
I''m sure there are special clubbing busses that are put on for those who want to escape malverns night life for Worcesters

What a lovely town! With the Malvern Hills as a backdrop, no matter where you go the view is always lovely. The town has a huge tourist industry with the many ramblers and hill walkers that come in from accross the country. Malvern high street itself rests just at the foot of the hills and a word of warning if you choose to drive in this town make sure you have fantastic clutch control! The high street is very basic with a couple of banks, Waitrose, Somerfields and Woolworths being pretty much the full extent along with the tourist information and a couple of touristy nick nack shops. Malvern is split into little ''sub sections'' with Bernards Green, Great Malvern and Malvern Link. It also boast of The Three Counties Show Ground which has so many events on all year round. The shows are all usualy live stock based as Malvern and the surrounding areas are very agricultural, but by far the best yearly show is the Summer Show which is held every June over a weekend. As with all towns Malven has its run down estates, but mostly the area is in the higher house pricing range with many ''old'' style houses to be seen. It has two train stations, On in Great Malvern and the other is in Malvern Link, both run on the same line direct north to Birmingham (around 1 hour) or south to London (around 2.5/3hours). It is only a 30-45 minute drive into Worcester City Center, but again you have the option of a train (15/20 mins) or even a bus as the bus runs hourly from certain stops.
