Malvern Hills, Hill chain in Herefordshire, England
The Malvern Hills extend across Worcestershire and Herefordshire counties, reaching an elevation of 425 meters above the Severn Valley plain.
Archaeological discoveries reveal Bronze Age settlements from 1000 BC, with flint axes and arrowheads found throughout the hills.
The medieval Malvern Chase royal forest sparked civil unrest in 1630 when King Charles I attempted to reduce its protected status.
Multiple walking paths traverse the hills, connecting Great Malvern to Colwall village across 13 kilometers of protected landscape.
The hills contain some of England's oldest rocks, dating back 680 million years to the Precambrian era, including diorite and granite formations.
