Lane across Castlemorton Common

Long straight lane heading towards Hollybush. Popular route for weekend picnics as it is possible to park on many of the green spaces.

Hounds on Broad Down

View north to the Herefordshire Beacon with Clutter's Cave just ahead. The Ledbury Hunt is scouring the Eastnor estate off to the left and these hounds have come up to the hilltop to check things out.

Scrubland at Castlemorton Common

View east with Bredon Hill just visible on the horizon. The evening sun highlights the mixture of rough grazing, gorse and scrub in this more inaccessible part of the common.

Cattle grazing near Hancocks Lane

Cattle are always to be found somewhere on the common where commoners exercise their grazing rights.

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
