Castlemorton is a small rural parish in the Malvern Hills district of Worcestershire, sitting on the eastern fringes of the Malvern Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Its landscape is dominated by open heath and mixed woodland, most famously Castlemorton Common, a valuable block of lowland heath and grassland that offers panoramic views and attracts walkers, naturalists and horse riders.
Locally the community is quiet and agricultural, made up of farms, scattered houses and a handful of historic buildings, but the common also has a notable modern cultural footnote: a large free festival held there in 1992 sparked national debate and changes to public order law. The parish’s proximity to market towns such as Malvern and Ledbury keeps it accessible while preserving its strong rural character and seasonal community life.
