A little more information on Malvern

Malvern is a great place to stay for any length of holiday. There is something for everyone to explore in this region, thanks to its rich history, dramatic landscape, and proximity to numerous points of interest. The Malvern Hills are a 9-mile long range of ancient rock with 100 miles of trails and bridleways, as well as natural springs and breathtaking views in every direction, earning them designation as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. In addition to fishing and river cruises, other nearby outdoor activities include high ropes, climbing, and abseiling. There are a number of gardens and vineyards in the area that are owned by the National Trust, and they are all very convenient to visit. There are numerous unique stores, cafes, art galleries, restaurants, and even a high-end spa in Malvern. Great Malvern, located on the eastern side of the dramatic Malvern Hills, has been inhabited since the Bronze Age. The Great Malvern Food Festival is held every June, and the town hosts numerous auctions, farmers markets, and antique and craft fairs all year long. Throughout the year, Malvern Theatres hosts a wide variety of performances, from musicals and dance to concerts by world-renowned musicians and orchestras, and the affiliated cinema shows the latest releases. Each year, in the month of June, the town of Ledbury hosts the Poetry Festival. There is a Morgan Motor Company not far from the cottage, and up in the hills, Eastnor Castle hosts the Land Rover Experience as part of their summer event lineup. Drive just a few minutes and you'll be at the Three Counties Showground, site of many annual events such as RHS Malvern (in May), the Royal Three Counties Show (in June), and the Malvern Autumn Show (in October) (September). Tewkesbury, Hereford, and the Wye valley are all within a day's drive, as is Worcester, one of the Three Choirs Festival cities. Gloucester, with its historic dockyard, Monmouth and the Forest of Dean, and Cheltenham, home to a number of festivals, are all within easy driving distance thanks to the proximity of the M5 and M50 motorways. Day trips can be taken without needing a car due to the proximity of rail and bus connections. A fantastic holiday destination whenever you choose to take one.
