Physical Geography
Worcestershire is a mainly rural county. The Malvern Hills, which run from the south of the county into Herefordshire, are made up mainly of volcanic igneous rock and metamorphic rock, some of which date from more than 1200 million years ago. The rest of the county consists of undulating hills and farmland, in which the Severn valley cuts through. Several coniferous and deciduous woodlands are located in the north of the county, while the Vale of Evesham and the Cotswolds run through the south.
