The Malvern Hills, and The ‘Pepperpot’ in Upton-upon-Severn

This time when visiting Malvern I was being driven by someone else so I was able to get a better photo of the Malvern Hills. The Hills go on for just over eight miles so I’m not sure, even now, if I got them all, but I definitely got more than I did before when I was driving myself.
To get to Malvern we go through Upton-upon-Severn — I managed to get a photo of this tower — it’s called the ‘Pepperpot’ because of its shape including its hexagonal lantern and copper cupola.
It was originally part of the church and believed to be fourteenth century. Now it houses the Heritage Centre and is full of local history and information.
The Severn runs alongside it, and along the road to Malvern. When the river is high it frequently runs out over the road and then I have to drive all around the other way to get to Malvern. Luckily, the river wasn’t high yesterday.
