Holdfast is a small, mostly rural civil parish in the Malvern Hills district of Worcestershire, England. Set close to the foothills of the Malvern range and within easy reach of Malvern, it is characterised more by rolling farmland, lanes and hedgerows than by a single nucleated village.
Local life is quietly agricultural, with many residents commuting to nearby towns such as Malvern and Worcester, while walkers and nature‑lovers are drawn by the surrounding hills and countryside; historic field patterns and traditional farmsteads give Holdfast a distinctly rural character despite its proximity to the amenities and cultural history of the Malvern spa town.
