Dist:0.1km<br/>One of two football pitches that the "Heart of Malvern Association" is campaigning to keep as a general recreation space. The land is under threat of being leased to a football club, turned into allotments or developed for housing.

Dist:0.1km<br/>One of several fields near the end of Hayslan Road. This open space is crossed by several paths and, until recently, was a meadow enjoyed by the local population. It has been designated as possible land for housing development and given the designation MHMT15 (Malvern Hills district council - Malvern Town 15).

Dist:0.2km<br/>The route takes one from Madresfield to Great Malvern. The field on the right is one of several to the east of the railway line that may soon be developed for housing according to local plans. The two hills in view are Worcestershire Beacon on the left with North Hill on the right which has the local TV transmitter clearly visible on its lower slopes.

Dist:0.2km<br/>Land east of the railway line, but west of Pickersleigh Road has remained an open "lung" space for Malvern. This still has an elaborate iron fence with quite ornate field gates. All these fields are on the plan for possible development as housing. North Hill in the background.

Dist:0.2km<br/>The path runs from the end of Pickersleigh Grove through to the fields. The photograph was taken from a low spot where a very small stream (drain) flows under the path.

Dist:0.2km<br/>View north-east from our garden across the playing field and railway embankment towards the TV mast and North Hill. Christmas Day 2007 is dull, but at least it has stopped raining and the mist has just cleared off the top of the hill.
