Railway Tunnel Spring
Location: Between Colwall and Malvern Wells.
Grid Reference: SO77584370


This spring is off Peachfield Road at Malvern Wells and flows out of the entrance to the first railway tunnel built through the hills to Colwall in the 1850's. While under construction the tunnel drained a number of spring supplies from nearby houses, which were then re-supplied by this water pumped from the tunnel. Today the outflow can still be seen running down the embankment where the path passes beneath the railway bridge.
