Link is an electoral ward in the district of Malvern Hills, Worcestershire, in England, forming part of the suburban eastern side of Malvern. It sits close to the western edge of the Malvern Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, so residents enjoy ready access to walking routes and countryside views while the ward itself is largely residential with a mix of housing, small parades of shops and a railway station that makes it a convenient commuter base for Worcester and Hereford.
Locally the area shares in Malvern’s Victorian spa heritage and the broader cultural history of the town, including associations with the composer Edward Elgar and a tradition of community societies, schools and recreational facilities. The economy is predominantly local and service-oriented, with independent traders, community centres and volunteer groups playing a strong role in ward life, giving it a village-like social feel despite being part of a larger market town.
