Hayes Coppice

One of the many small woodlands in the surrounds of the Malvern Hills. This is a great place to visit if you like traditional old English woodland. This is the Bromesberrow Estate in Gloucestershire, just to the north in Herefordshire is Eastnor which is also well wooded and very light on the Sitka. Oaks dominate the deep soils on the sandstones. Further up the hill on thin soils above Uriconian rocks ashes, some huge are the favoured tree. Sadly the invasive sycamore is too common in the Malvern Hills, it thrived when grazing stopped.

Chase End Hill

Path junction on the southern end of the Malvern Hills. It is much quieter here than up at the Malvern end and the paths are grass or moss covered. The common is about to be grazed again and fencing has been put in to keep the stock in. In 2001 the Malvern Hills was closed off as part of precautions against foot and mouth disease. I can remember the feeling of being conned when I later found out that there was no livestock up at the Malvern end as the sheep kept getting out and trashing expensive gardens. There was of course no need whatsoever to close the place down and we were all caught admiring the King's dashing new threads. The cessation of grazing has encouraged sycamores as well as the more desirable succession woodlands. Chase End has been regularly mown.

Chase End Hill

Southern terminus of the Malvern Hills and an Uriconian foothold in Gloucestershire. The march with Worcestershire runs along the ridge with this western side being in Gloucestershire. The common is grazed again after a long period of being left.

Chase End Hill

The summit and triangulation pillar of the southernmost Malvern hill. View towards Raggedstone Hill. Very impressive scenery, great to see so much broadleaved woodland. The benchmark number is S5030. I am standing just inside Gloucestershire and there is a very good view over the flat and low lying plain in Worcestershire, the flood plain of the Avon and Severn.
