Great Malvern - Worcester Road at the Foley Arms Hotel The Foley Arms had a chequered life in the period 2008-2010. It ceased trading as a hotel, was occupied by its own staff in a "sit in" and finally acquired by the Wetherspoons chain, whose name it now sports. The Foley Arms now (2011) provides both accommodation and the usual Wetherspoons bar experience.

Belle Vue Island The island stands between the A449 Ledbury to Worcester road above and Abbey Road below. It takes its name from Belle Vue Terrace and the old Belle Vue Hotel (Belle Vue is still visible on the building). The two London plane trees were planted in memory of the 1982 Falklands war and were saved from felling when the island was improved by a campaign: "Save the Belle Vue Two".
