I have never been, perhaps you have? Where, exactly, did you go?

My grandparents live near Droitwich, so we'd tend to go for walks on them when we visited, go flying kites and that. I remember I used to go running off ahead cos I wanted to see how quickly I could reach the end of them - all I can remember really is them being green and misty, and feeling oddly fearless. Pretty fond memories, though it's a pretty long while since I've been.

I'm from Worcester so I've been quite a few times, walked from one end to the other when I was at school.

Haven't been for a few years though. Usually go up the bigger ones like Worcestershire Beacon & British Camp.

I walked 'em, so my parents tell me, aged two, but I have no recollection.

I've just driven past them! I love the view of them from the M5. I have wondered up and down them and they are lovely but tend to get very busy. Definitely worth a trip though, because the views are totally stunning. Not difficult or challenging walking particularly but very satisfying nevertheless.

Live about 30 minutes drive away and go walking there maybe half-a-dozen times a year. Now we always park at British Camp and walk south along the top (hard trek up to the top of British Camp, but after that it's not too strenuous), out to visit the obelisk overlooking the Victorian Castle whose name escapes me, then down to the disused quarry (a drowning there last year) and back round the side. It certainly gets busy on the easier stretches up to say half-a-mile from the car park, but once you've gone past that it's mainly serious walkers. After the exercise it's into the Malvern Hills Hotel for a pint of the local beer.

I stayed in Malvern once. It's very nice.

I work in the shadow of them. Good hills.

I also went as a small child, and have very little recollection of it. I think we went to see Elgar's house on the same trip, but that might be me getting muddled.

Malvern Pudding was always my favourite, but it's years since Mum made it.
