Beautiful Place in England 2011

England is a country with so many beautiful places, and one of the loveliest is the area around Malvern, Worcestershire. The three counties of Worcestershire, Herefordshire and Gloucestershire, and extending across to the Welsh border and Powys, are, for me, just a wonderfully scenic and delightful part of Britain to visit and explore, with many lovely little villages of the kind that can only be found in rural England.
One of the loveliest is Hanley Swan, a village that you can drive through without really noticing, but a place that will reward you if you just stop for a while, walk around, have a meal or a drink in the Swan, and relax beside the Swan Pond at the village’s crossroads. Or, you can walk along to the Catholic Church to see a building designed by a Mr Hansom, the brother of the man who designed the original Hansom Cab!
