Welcome to the Malvern Hills AONB
Welcome to the website for the Malvern Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). The area is famed for its dramatic hills and for the pure spring water that flows from them, but it offers so much more besides. A rich cultural heritage of forts, castles and priories stands proudly from this landscape of ancient woodland, rolling pastures and wild, open commons. The geology of the AONB is varied and fascinating and the area is home to a diversity of locally and nationally important wildlife.
The AONB designation signifies that the natural beauty of this area is of national importance. A Partnership of local and national interests works together to conserve and enhance the area through the implementation of a five year AONB Management Plan. The Malvern Hills AONB is one of a family of 46 similarly designated areas across the United Kingdom.
We have a brand new Visitor Map and Guide which covers some of the features and attractions within the whole of the Malvern Hills AONB area. Click here to view it .
The first ever Landscape Strategy and Guidelines for the Malvern Hills AONB is now map based and interactive. View it here.
