Malvern Hills

I try to get out to the Malverns as often as I can and head for the village of Colwall which has a train station. As usual on a Bank Holiday, the train timetable had been altered but the information wasn't showing on any website I checked with. It wasn't until I bought my train ticket that I was told I would need to change at Malvern and there would be a wait of over an hour. So I decided to reach the hills from the town itself. That was a mistake. The Malverns are good but they're a tourist trap. Luckily people get to the town, struggle up to St Anne's Well and then give up, that's why I like Colwall so much. It's much more peaceful.

Apart from working on my tan, I didn't really enjoy it that much. The best bit was the tea room at Great Malvern train station which served the best cup of coffee I've had in years.
