Boundary Stones, British Camp, the Malvern Hills Two boundary markers: the right-hand one being a somewhat sunken stone and the other being a Malvern Hills Conservators' blue brick marker. They are on the ridge of the Malvern hills in the saddle between Herefordshire Beacon and Millennium Hill. The iron-age hill fort known as British camp occupies both hill tops and these markers are close to the western gate to the fort.

Boundary marker, British Camp, Malvern The blue brick marker is bears the inscription MHC 159. It was placed here by the Malvern Hills Conservators on the ridge of the hills in the saddle between Herefordshire Beacon and Millennium Hill. The peak of the latter can be seen along the well worn ridge. Just behind the marker and barely visible in this photo is a much older boundary stone in a somewhat sunken state. If one looks carefully it is possible to see the levelled hut platforms of the iron-age town on the slopes of the hill side.

Millennium Hill, Malvern Hills The hill is the southern of two peaks included in the iron-age hill fort known as British Camp. Almost all of the Malvern Hills is under the care of the Malvern Hills Conservators and is open to the public and very popular with dog walkers.

Wake detection, British Camp reservoir The ducks were almost invisible (to my eyes), but with the sun at the right angle the wake indicates their location. The reservoir is no longer used as a water supply, but it remains as an iconic reminder of Victorian engineering and it is also a picturesque scene
