Visited Sunday afternoon. Thought the rain will ruin the little trip, but it turn out giving the mountains a perfect horror film vibes!

Ac on a May morwenynge on Malverne hilles,
Me bifel a ferly, of fairye methought.
Originally from Malvern here. When I was younger a gang of us used to ‘ park up’ in the ‘ Hidden Lake’ carpark by the Witch Cutting and listen to music in our cars, smoke, take the girls there for a bit of a smooch etc etc. Anyway one night my mate and I were parked up with a pair birds in the back and we were telling spooky stories of how the witch cutting was so named after a coven of witches used to use the space for their ‘witching’ when we noticed light just beyond the trees where we were parked. We went investigate, there was a fire in the middle of a clearing but no sign of anybody there. We scurried back to the car. Just at the moment we got in and closed the doors (and locked) there was a mighty WHACK at the back of the car and it began to be pushed forward to the drop off edge in front of us (the handbrake was on and we could feel and hear the car grinding over the gravel)…. Well the girls were screaming and my mate and I started shouting, we started the car slammed it in reverse and sped the hell outta there. We never saw anything, no damage to the car no marks but we were all pretty freaked out.
I love the photos, but I’m in the U.S., and I know the name Malvern from this song by Eric Idle and Neil Innes:
We’ve been to Leamington – – – – We’ve been to Malvern – – – –
That is so beautiful OP – I don’t find misty forests a horror thing though, I find them to be cosy and quiet – I love the hush and the muted colours, the idea that all the little animals and birds are tucked away in little hollows and nooks; it’s so calming
Were the Hills particularly Silent then?
This is delightful. Reminds me of Sleepy Hollow!
Also a Malvern native here.
The Malvern Hills in the mist are always spectacular.
