Opis:

The peaceful rural hamlet of Mathon is situated west of the Malvern Hills, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty; a short distance from the neighbouring villages of Cradley (1 1/2 miles) and Colwall (3 1/2 miles) on the Herefordshire/ Worcestershire border.   Mathon is a popular location due to its tranquil environment and superb views of the Malvern Hills. This area offers a sought after rural quality of life, yet is only a short drive from Malvern and the traditional market town of Ledbury with the city of Worcester close by. The area benefits from good road and mainline rail links to the rest of the country.
