MORE visitors than usual have been making the most of the fine weather and heading to the Malvern Hills.

Ian Rowat, director of the Malvern Hills Conservators, said there had been a noticeable increase in people on the hills compared to the usual at this time of year.

“I think that the weather and the bank holidays have brought a lot of people out on to the hills,” he said. “We are still waiting on the final figures from our car parks but I certainly think numbers are up on the usual.”
