Swinyard Hill
Herefordshire, Worcestershire

Swinyard Hill from the north
Range: Malvern Hills
Summit: 889 feet SO761385
52°2’38"N, 2°20’55"W

Swinyard Hill is one of the hills on the eight-mile ridge of the Malvern Hills, and stands on the border of Herefordshire and Worcestershire. It is in the middle part of the Malvern Hills, a little north of Hollybush.

The name "Swinyard" is, as it appears, from "swine-yard".

Swinyard Hill lies on the course of the Shire Ditch, to the south of Hangman's Hill and north of the Gullet, the pass through the hills south of which Midsummer Hill rises.
