Why Are Highland Cows on the Malvern Hills?
Highland cattle are sometimes used on the Malvern Hills as part of conservation grazing projects.
As they graze, they help keep areas of the hills open by naturally controlling vegetation and scrub growth. This supports the management of the landscape and helps maintain the open views and habitats that make the Malvern Hills such a special place to visit.
For many walkers, seeing Highland cattle grazing on the hills has become one of the most memorable sights of a visit to the Malvern Hills.
