  • 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? 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 National Landscape 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.

What customers say

This quiet, adult-only spot boasts amazing Malvern Hills views & direct access to Castlemorton Common, perfect for dog walks. Pitches are generous, level, with water & EHU. Horses at the livery yard are a big plus. Basic but clean facilities; some found them limited when busy, with patchy Wi-Fi/phone signal. Owner's friendly & helpful.

Gavin Y.

Powered gravel caravan site

Liked Nice quiet site, we had a gravel pitch which had electric hook up and a water tap for each pitch which was great. Fantastic view of the Malverns and great access for walks straight from the site without the need to drive. You are on a working equestrian site, we loved that but if you have a dog that does not like horse this might not be for you. We loved that we could take our dog and the site was great for that.

Disliked Only one toilet/shower room for the camper although a second toilet is available that is used by the stables. Toilet/shower room was pretty basic/rustic, it does the job but luxury or high level of cleanliness it is not.

Liked A Beautiful setting with good directions from the owner.

Disliked Very basic shower and toilet facilities. Washing up area was dirty and the only hot water was via a kettle. We only found 2 of the local pubs mentioned on the website and they had both closed down.

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 National Landscape (25 minutes) for yet more wanders or watersports on the River Wye.
