Here the access is onto Poolbrook Common. Note the cattle grid and access for horse draw vehicles. I doubt if either have been of use for several decades. The farmers and commoners who used to graze their animals have suffered from the speeding motorist and the unleashed dogs. St. Werstan was said to have lived in a hermitage on the Malvern Hills in the 9th century - long before the Priory and the susaquent village and town of Great Malvern existed.
