Malvern is lovely if you go to the top of the hill. 360 degree views are stunning. Dove dale is one of my fave places. Great walk is to follow the river from the car park, over the stepping stones and carry on untill you see a bridge. Go over that and up a big hill. Again views are stunning and it brings you back to the car park. Wouldn't say it was an easy walk though. You could just not go over the bridge and stay next to the river.
The only other problem is the last time I went to dove dale it was stupidly packed.
