The area extends across a region that is exciting and varied, through the lush riverside surroundings of Upton upon Severn in the south to the rustic hill country of the Teme Valley with Tenbury Wells and Bromyard in the north.

The Malvern Hills are designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) to conserve and enhance the natural beauty.
