Location
Pendock is a village in the Malvern Hills district in the county of Worcestershire, situated about halfway between the towns of Tewkesbury and Ledbury. The name is probably from old Welsh, possibly penn heddioc, meaning ‘head of the barley field. The village constitutes two detached parts with Lower Pendock containing the main (present-day) village with its church and school and Upper Pendock containing the hamlet of Sledge Green and the old parish church.
The Malvern Hills, designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, are the dominant feature of the landscape. Great Malvern is also a renowned cultural centre with an excellent theatre and cinema and several highly regarded state and private schools including the Wyche and Wells Primary, The Chase Secondary, Malvern College and Malvern St James Girls School.
Furthermore, Malvern has good shopping facilities, a Waitrose superstore in the town centre and a wide range of independent retailers on the bustling High Street.
More comprehensive facilities can be found in Cheltenham which is home to numerous prestigious schools including Cheltenham College, Cheltenham Ladies College, Dean Close and Pates Grammar. There is a fabulous range of restaurants, stylish shops, museums and galleries as well as a thriving cultural scene encompassing festivals of literature, science, food and drink. A sporting highlight is the annual Cheltenham Gold Cup which draws in visitors year after year. In the cathedral city of Worcester are extensive shopping and recreational facilities including County cricket in the setting of Worcester Cathedral and horse racing on the banks of the River Severn. The area is well served by an excellent choice of schools at primary and secondary levels and in both the state and private systems including the Royal Grammar School, The King’s School and Tudor Grange Academy.
