Worcester Beacon Trig Point

Highlight • Natural Monument

This does mark the highest point and as a result the views in all directions are quite something. Most people tend to flock to the nearby Toposcope.

Worcestershire Beacon Summit and Toposcope

Highlight • Natural Monument

At 1,394 feet (425 m), Worcestershire Beacon is the highest point in the county and a grand viewpoint to boot. Its popularity is such that it is at the centre of a veritable spider's web of paths. As with so many summits in the region, beacon fires have been lit here in days gone by, notably to warn of the coming Spanish Armada in 1588.

On a clear day, you can see all the way to the Black Mountains plateau in South Wales. To the north west, the Shropshire Hills rise in gentle folds. The River Severn winds its way towards the sea to the east and south. A grand toposcope adorns the summit, enabling you to identify the surrounding landmarks.

Perseverance Hill

Highlight • Viewpoint

Perseverance Hill is a hill on the ridge of the Malvern Hills and on the border of Herefordshire (to the west) with Worcestershire (to the east). Perseverance Hill is immediately north of Jubilee Hill and south of Summer Hill to the south of the Worcestershire Beacon. Between Perseverance Hill and the Beacon, the ridge of the Malvern Hills is the pass crossed by the B-road between Upper Wyche (Herefordshire) and Lower Wyche (Worcestershire).

This hill is a crossing place on the forbiddingly steep ridge of Malvern, for the road breaks across the hills in the narrow gap to the north of the hill, and railway tunnels have been dug beneath Perseverance Hill joining east and west.

Pinnacle Hill

Highlight • Natural Monument

Bit of a diversion off of the 'Long Route', and the ~15% climb is definitely a granny gear job. But nice views.
