Things to See

St Ann's Well

Known best for its use during the water cure, the area around the spring had once been an 11th Century hermitage for monks from Worcester. It is directly above the town, and the cottage was built over the well to provide shelter.

The original cottage can still be seen today and now offers visitors other refreshments as well as Malvern water. The cafe is only open at weekends during the winter, but during the week in the summer, however, the spring is open all year round. Although there are no longer donkeys to carry people up the hill, the 20 minute walk from the town centre is rewarded with a drink of the famous Malvern water and fine views of the town.

Theatre of Small Convenience

Malvern's other theatre is listed in the Guiness Book of Records as being the smallest theatre in the world! Performances of the puppet shows are five minutes long and audiences are very small!


Great Malvern Station

The Great Malvern Railway Station was built in 1861 to impress the affluent visitors. It is also preserved as the most ornate small station in the country due to the columns supporting the platform roof each decorated with a different design ranging from acorns to spiky chesnuts.
