Herefordshire Beacon

The Herefordshire Beacon is one of the hills of the Malvern Hills; a counterpart to the nearby Worcestershire Beacon, also among the Malvern Hills. Its summit is in Herefordshire, though the county border runs over its eastern slopes.

The summit of the Herefordshire Beacon is 1,109 feet above sea level, though the Victorian era inscription at the foot of the hill puts its height at 1,145 feet. It is surrounded by a vast Iron Age hill fort earthwork known as British Camp. (Read more)
