The Marlbank Inn

Traditional and welcoming pub site at the foot of the Malvern Hills
Three miles from the Three Counties Showground
Dogs welcome on site and in the pub; menu of Indian street food

It's just as well for one's waistline that the Malverns have some of the best hiking and ramble routes in the land – for there's a tasty menu of North Indian cuisine to get through at The Marlbank Inn. And it's just as well that said walks are simple to access too, as you might be a tad full after sampling said menu: the inn and its campsite are at the foot of the Malvern Hills within easy reach of scenic and slimming walks. The Marlbank Inn is in rural Worcestershire, close to geocaching and treasure trails, fishing and bike rides, and Worcestershire Golf Club for gentle teeing off. Events and shows are easily sorted from here too, as the Three Counties Showground is within three miles. The Marlbank is a traditional and welcoming country pub, with a sheltered camping field well placed for handsome views over the hills. Family attractions like Ice Quest Malvern and a leisure centre with pool are within 15 minutes' drive. Facilities include toilets and showers, drinking water, an undercover washing-up area and disabled facilities, along with chemical disposal and ice pack freezing. Dogs are welcome on site and in the pub.

Ian T. Sept 2024

Non-electric hardstanding touring pitch (basic)

Liked: Very quiet area away from the road, plenty of walking or hiking routes. Pitches were spacious and level. Very friendly and helpful staff in the pub. Good signage and easy to find. For what you pay the facilities are perfectly adequate, basic shower and bathroom facilities, which were clean and tidy. No bells and whistles but if that's what you're after you should look to pay a bit more.

Disliked: Signal can be patchy and WiFi isn't excellent but you're in the countryside.

Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked: Friendly pub. Quiet. Good food.

Disliked: No real organisation with the booking in. Everything was very tired & needs a little TLC. Could've done with some lighting on campsite as there were a some trip hazards when walking back from facilities, torch required.

Local attractions

After all those Malvern Hills hikes (for that really is a mighty fine menu in The Marlbank Inn), set off for indoor and outdoor days around the Malverns and its countryside. Days out for families include laser questing and ice skating at Ice Quest Malvern; taking the self-guided Spy Mission treasure trail around the hills, and pummelling clay into submission at Green Frog Pottery, 15 minutes' drive away. Kids – and grownups – of a certain sort might also like the Malvern Museum of Local History; if not, Ledbury's 19th-century Eastnor Castle has regular events including family days and sword fighting sessions (foam swords, you may be somewhat relieved to hear). Both museum and castle are 10 minutes' drive away. For a peaceful day out, drive 25 minutes to the meadow valleys, orchards and woodland of The Knapp and Papermill Nature Reserve, to look out for woodpeckers and nuthatches, dormice and bats (the reserve has 11 of the UK's 15 breeding species). Pick up a free trail leaflet or buy a family trail guide and information booklet at the visitor centre, to head out after another bite to eat in the picnic area.
