Location

Hanley Swan
A traditional English village nestling at the foot of the Malvern Hills and winners of the Worcestershire Best Kept Village Competition in 2000. The centre of the village features an attractive pool stocked with water plants and ducks and holds great appeal for both artists and visitors to the area. Just across the road is the well equipped stores and the bakery. The local pub, aptly named The Swan Inn, provides good bar meals, and overlooks the village green which is complete with an ancient oak tree.

Exploring Malvern
Malvern itself has a lot to offer any visitor to the area. Naturally the well known Malvern Hills attract visitors all through the year and are suited for short walks or long treks. Sample the breathtaking views towards the Black Mountains in Wales, with the rolling Herefordshire countryside between. It is easy to understand why Elgar gained inspiration for his works from these Hills. Malvern Theatres have recently reopened following a multi-million pound refurbishment and now offer high quality shows. The 15th century Malvern Priory boasts one of the largest stained glass windows in any parish church. Malvern is the home of the classic Morgan sports car which is still handmade by the same family using traditional methods. There are a number of excellent restaurants and pubs in and around Malvern offering a wide choice of cuisine.

Further Afield
Hanley Swan makes an excellent base for those wishing to explore the area. To the North just 8 miles away lies the City of Worcester with its Civil War history, its spectacular Cathedral, its famous Royal Worcester Porcelain factory shops and an excellent City shopping centre. To the South is Cheltenham Spa and Gloucester with its historic docks. To the East is Warwick with its famous castle and Stratford-upon-Avon with its Shakespearian history. To the West over the Hills lie the market towns of Ledbury and Ross-on-Wye (the gateway to South Wales set on the banks of the River Wye).
