5The Malvern Hills, Worcestershire
While the Cotswolds often steal the spotlight, the Malvern Hills are equally spectacular, offering sweeping views across Worcestershire, Herefordshire, and even into Wales. The ridgeline is perfect for walkers who enjoy a balance of manageable climbs and rewarding vistas. These hills are also steeped in cultural history, having inspired writers like J.R.R. Tolkien and composers like Edward Elgar. With natural springs, charming hillside villages, and a sense of tranquility, the Malverns provide a refreshing alternative to more crowded walking destinations.
