Living in Malvern

[Elvini]

We're thinking of relocating to Malvern. Any MNers from the area? I wondered what it's like in the way of a community feel, schools and things to do. We like walking so the hills and scenery are what's attracting us to the area. Also DH would commute to Birmingham on the train, does anybody do this and find it ok?

Which residential areas are preferable and which not so much?

Thanks in advance.

Incidentally most of my family live in Colwall and they aren't remotely 'establishment'But I do agree that it has a very different feel to Malvern/West Malvern and I wouldn't choose to live there myself. Great views of the hills from Colwall though.

Would you mind if I PM'd you for those details too, Dancingtothmusicoftime please? My house is stone and I'd love a recommendation!

Not at all, please do. They also specialise in repairs and renovation of Malvern Stone buildings so you might find that useful.

User1484, I've PM'd you about the stonemason recommendation - apologies for the delayed response.
