Hollybush Hill It can be quite hard to imagine that 2000 years ago this quiet spot was part of a busy town - the Midsummer Hill iron-age hill-fort. 
Excavations in the late 1960s by Stan Stanford showed the area full of small building plots. 
Each plot had been reused time and time again over the centuries suggesting continuous occupation. 
The buildings used four posts arranged in a square - not at all like the round huts usually depicted for this era.
Evidence for similar square buildings have been found in other so called "hill-forts" in Herefordshire and the Welsh Marches

Hollybush Fete, Hollybush Church Hall, 2011 An auction of donated items too good for the bric-a-brac stall is taking place.
On the other side of the hall the skittles competition was taking place.
On this side books, CDs, a raffle.
Inside the hall, Cakes, jams, produce (I bought a box of quinces for £1!) clothes, and the bric-a-brac stall.
Scrummy cakes and cups of tea served in the adjoining room.

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.
