New Coppice

Dense woodland spreads across the lower slopes here, offering proper walking territory for those wanting to escape the crowds on the Malvern Hills proper. New Coppice sits in that sweet spot between managed forest and wild woodland - you'll find clear paths winding through mixed deciduous trees, but it feels refreshingly untamed compared to some of the more manicured spots around Malvern.

Families with energetic kids will get the most from this place. The terrain isn't too challenging, but there's enough variety to keep younger walkers engaged - fallen logs to clamber over, clearings to run about in, and that satisfying woodland atmosphere that makes even short walks feel like proper adventures. Dog walkers absolutely love it here too.

Expect to spend a good hour or two if you're making a proper go of it, though you could easily stretch that with a picnic. The paths can get muddy after rain, so decent boots are wise. It's the sort of place that works brilliantly as a morning walk before heading back to your base at one of the nearby holiday parks - Malvern Hills Caravan and Motorhome Club Campsite is less than three miles away, making it an easy addition to a Worcestershire break.
