Colwall - a peep at my parish - central to Hope End

Most of the walks and views from our house lie in the 2 parishes of Colwall and Eastnor (now separate gallery) which are composed of a series of Limestone ridges parallel to the Malvern Hills, broken by valleys each with its very individual character. Colwall has only the Church, Park Farm and the Ale House remaining in its original mediaeval location. It regrew from the early 19th century with commuters wanting to avail themselves of the westward views from the hills(another separate gallery) at first by Horse and Carriage, then from 1880 by rail and then progressively infilling between; the latter now nearing wrecking the lot. Evendine, originally a separate settlement now also a separate gallery

It's nice to see it in daylight.From 2000 until 2006 I was an inhouse courier;motorcycle mainly,with a firm that produced annual reports.They frequently sent me to Mill Lane, Colwall,3rd or 4th house down on the left,usually in the dead of night.I recall the recipient was in finance in Birmingham.He and his wife were most charitable.

Nice series Chris. My late brother used to look after the nature reserve in Colwall as well as Colwall church and many public footpaths in the area.
