About

West ward encompasses a largely residential area on the western slopes of the Malvern Hills. The layout is defined by steep, winding roads like West Malvern Road, which follows the contour of the hillside. Housing consists primarily of Victorian and Edwardian properties, along with more modern developments, built into the dramatic incline. The area offers direct pedestrian access onto the hills themselves via numerous public footpaths.

The local environment is heavily shaped by its geography, with many homes and gardens enjoying panoramic views across the Severn Valley towards the Cotswolds. A notable feature is the presence of several natural springs and wells, historically linked to Malvern's spa heritage, which still feed into the local landscape. Community life centres around a few local shops, pubs, and the St. James' Church, serving the ward's population.
