  • Friendly adults-only site at the foot of the Malvern Hills
  • Access to Castlemorton Common and 35 minutes’ walk from Little Malvern
  • Barbecues permitted on site; walk to four country pubs
Keen to get away to the Malvern Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty? Looking for a break where your dog can get involved with the hill walking? A peaceful spot within walking distance of multiple cosy country pubs? Marlbrook Farm is here to get things started… The family-run, adults-only site based on a working horse livery yard is in the Malvern Hills AONB with direct access to Castlemorton Common and a 10-minute drive from the Three Counties Showground. Don your hiking boots and head for the common or the hills – the site is just 35 minutes’ walk from Little Malvern and under 10 minutes’ drive from British Camp Hill Fort. Those of you who’d rather mount your bicycle and get pedalling can set your sights on historic Ledbury (15 minutes’ drive or 45 minutes’ cycle) and the peaceful riverside in Upton upon Severn (25 minutes’ drive or cycle) too. Hill walking and cycling aside, those wishing to tip back a few local ales and indulge in some country pub grub will be pleased to find four such establishments within walking distance. The closest is just 15 minutes’ walk away and the remainder are 25 minutes’ walk or 35 minutes’ walk away – so judge your favourite for yourselves. If barbecues with stunning views are high on your priorities too, good news. They're permitted on site, and there’s a village shop 10 minutes’ walk away to simplify sourcing ingredients. Facilities on this peaceful independent site include one shower and two toilets located a short walk away from the pitches (passing by the horse stables) and a chemical disposal point.

Liked: The site was quiet and friendly, The pitches were level and large with excellent views of the Malvern Hills. The pre arrival instructions had sufficient detail to arrive without site contact, including clear travel directions. This was a great site for the first test of our campervan.
Advised in advance there would be no wifi.

Disliked: Could have done with arrival information the day before rather than on day of arrival. Toilets out of toilet paper on the Saturday and still not replenished Sunday morning (Most campers come prepared for that though)
On the pricey side for basic site facilities.

I would certainly recommend this lovely site to friends.

Liked: Very good sized pitch. Accommodated us and our friends giving us side by side pitches. Lovely and quiet site with excellent areas to walk our dogs.

Disliked: Not really disliked but a shame there wasn't more showers for the site and the toilets could do with a sweep of the cobwebs.

Primitive gravel travel trailer campsite

Liked: Very quiet and peaceful setting - ordered pitches

Disliked: Only slight phone signal (no WiFi) - and no one to greet us on arrival - several attempts to get through to Catherine (owner) who eventually allocated us a pitch that was already occupied. Eventually disturbed a horse riding lesson and the instructor pointed us in the right direction for help but a good 30 mins had passed by this point and we had the same opinion from other disgruntled campers. 2 toilets (1 in a shower room) - you need to walk through a working stables to get here - the campsite seems to be a side business to the equestrian side. The pitch itself and views were good. A lot of money for this basic campsite.

Powered grass travel trailer campsite

Liked: The location!

Disliked: Not much really.

We were told the Wifi wasn't working after we had paid.

I tried contacting Catherine by phone and email but she replied to none. When on site we bumped into other campers who struggled to make contact with her too.

The site is basic if not scruffy, the shower and toilet was dirty and unattended.

A disappointing experience.

Local attractions

From the site, walk straight out onto Castlemorton Common. From there, it'll take you around an hour to walk to the top of the Malvern Hills without even crossing a road. On the edge of Welland, the site is also within walking distance of the annual Welland Steam & Country Rally event. There are many more festivals in Upton upon Severn (25 minutes’ drive) For a peek into the past, try Little Malvern Priory (35 minutes' walk) or Eastnor Castle (10 minutes' drive). The latter has a deer park, arboretum and a grand castle with turrets overlooking the lake. Gawp at the state rooms in the castle or try and work your way out of the garden maze. If you’re looking to switch things up, you might want to roll down to the Wye Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (25 minutes) for yet more wanders or watersports on the River Wye.
