About

Upper Howsell is a residential ward situated on the eastern slopes of the Malvern Hills, characterised by its quiet, leafy streets and suburban layout. The area consists primarily of detached and semi-detached housing, with properties often set back from the road amidst mature gardens. The local landscape is defined by the rising green backdrop of the hills, which influences the area's topography and provides a distinct sense of place. Community life centres around local schools and smaller shopping parades serving daily needs.

A notable local feature is the proximity to the Upper Wyche Cutting, a significant geological site exposing ancient Precambrian rocks. Public footpaths lead directly from residential streets onto the hills, offering immediate access to walking routes with expansive views over the Severn Plain. The ward maintains a separate identity from the busier tourist centres further south along the hills, with a focus on everyday residential living within a distinctive natural setting.
