Welland, a thriving village in Worcestershire to the southeast of the beautiful Malvern Hills, is home to a Post Office, a village shop, and a family-run vineyard from which they sell their award-winning wines. Castlemorton Common is a great place to go for a stroll or ride a bike, and a portion of it has been designated as a Site of Special Scientific Interest (sssi) due to the rich diversity of plants and animals that live there. Malvern, Worcestershire, is a picturesque town on the eastern side of the dramatic Malvern Hills that has been inhabited since the Bronze Age. The hills, spanning nine miles, are made up of ancient rock and are home to a network of 100 miles of trails and bridleways, as well as several natural springs and panoramic vistas in every direction. Along with the Great Malvern Food Festival in June, the town hosts numerous auctions, flea markets, farmers' markets, and WI country markets throughout the year. West End and RSC productions are always welcome at the Malvern Theatre. There are National Trust properties and gardens to explore, as well as opportunities for fishing and river cruises. Malvern is home to the Three Counties Showground and a wide variety of unique stores, cafes, art galleries, and restaurants. It also features a high-end spa. Malvern is where the Morgan car company was founded, so it's no surprise that car fans flock there. Located on the banks of the Severn River, the picturesque town of Upton upon Severn is home to several historic buildings from the 17th century as well as modern restaurants, pubs, and even a museum dedicated to the town's pudding specialty, The Pudding Shop. In addition, the Sunshine Music Festival, the Jazz Festival, the Folk Festival, and the Blues Festival are all held there annually. The town's mediaeval church, which is now a Heritage Centre, is topped by a striking 18th-century cupola, known as The Pepperpot, and the town has its own marina, vineyard, and well-stocked farm shop at the local fruit farm. Worcester, with its cathedral, and Gloucester, with its waterfront, are both within driving distance, and neither is more than 30 miles from the picturesque Forest of Dean, which is home to a number of interesting sights.
