West Malvern sits on the western slopes of the Malvern Hills in Worcestershire, England, immediately west of Great Malvern. Its position inside the Malvern Hills AONB gives residents and visitors easy access to wooded ridges, open commons and long views across the Severn plain towards Herefordshire, making it popular for walking and outdoor recreation.
The settlement is largely residential, with many Victorian and Edwardian houses left over from the spa-era expansion of nearby Great Malvern, and a quiet community life bolstered by local clubs and parish activity. Economic activity is mainly local services and tourism linked to the hills, with most people travelling to larger centres such as Worcester or Birmingham for work and shopping; remnants of the area’s historic quarrying and spring works still dot the landscape.
