Garden Cottage is situated near the beautiful Malvern Hills,
which have been described as a mountain range in miniature. This holiday cottage in Malvern is an ideal getaway
for couples and families alike. All of your home comforts are included to give
you a warm welcome, and the breath taking surroundings are sure to make you
feel well rested throughout your stay.
You have most likely been long awaiting for that getaway, after
long days at work and children being at school.
The cottage has much more to offer than it may seem. Situated near the Malvern Hills, means there
is plenty of lovely countryside scenery, and for those that like long walks or
hiking this would be an ideal source of fun and adventure. It has an 8 mile ridge which contains some of
the oldest rocks in Britain. George Mallory, who was the 1924 British Mountain
Everest Expedition walked here in his preparation for his ascent of
Everest. It is still unknown whether
Mallory reached the summit of Everest, as he unfortunately went missing during
his journey with a fellow friend.
Other fascinating historical facts include, how William I (the
Conqueror) decided to designate his land as a Royal Forest. William I (the Conqueror)
wanted to include his land at Hanley, but much of the surrounding area too.
This then adjusted the rights of Common for example, the right to graze certain
animals and collect firewood.

Charles I is also another
historical figure that had some involvement with the Malvern Hills. He raised
money and had a survey made of the Malvern Chase in 1628. The name ‘Third
Woods’ was given to commemorate Queen Victoria's Jubilee.

It may also be of interest to
know that during the 200 years the remaining area of open space and common land
became eroded by enclosure and encroachment. Major land owners such as the
Hornyolds carried out an enclosure. It inevitably led to some concern over the
loss of the common land. Eventually, a number of local people wanted to work
together to preserve the nature of the Hills, and in 1876 they formed the
Malvern Hills Preservation Association.
