Barbeques are not permitted anywhere in the Malvern Hills and Commons due to the risk of wildfires. Disposable BBQ's are particularly dangerous as they are placed on the ground and can be windblown across the Hills and Commons.
A wildfire on the Hills and Commons could be devastating and puts the public, grazing livestock and nearby residential properties at risk. Fire can also damage the nationally important and scarce species and habitats of the Hills.
As the weather has been unseasonably warm over the past couple of weeks we are urging people to leave BBQ's at home and enjoy the Hills and Commons responsibly, leaving no trace.
