Great Malvern - Great Food - Great Wine!

So you think you know what goes on?

Most people never get closer to Great Malvern than viewing the famous Malvern Hills from the M5 motorway - but in this historic centre lies a tranquil world where old meets new and the pace of life slows from the frenetic lifestyle at the other end of the railway line - London!

Below are a collection of photos from Pete's Wingsland gallery comparing the Malvern's 'Blooming Hills' entries for 2009/2008 that illustrate what's in store for visitors and locals alike who may not have discovered some of the nooks and crannies - come and explore!
