    Hiking

    Of around 12.000 standing crosses bullt across the country in the Medieval period, only 2000 survive. They acted as boundary markers, procession points, and sites for preaching or other community activities.

    This is a good example in its original location. The medieval base and column were heavily restored during the Victorian era, when a new cross head was also filled,
    -replacing a sun dial which had topped the monument
    since the 18th century. Today Malvern's standing cross
    remains a focus for shared worship with Christians from
    local churches gathering here on Good Friday.
