Tinkers Hill in Worcestershire is in the range of Malvern Hills that runs approximately eight miles north-south along the Herefordshire-Worcestershire border. It lies on the eastern side of the main ridge to the east of Herefordshire Beacon with views across the Vale of Evesham and the Cotswolds.[1] Its summit reaches a height of 699 feet.
The hilltop is level and wooded. The British Camp Reservoir lies in the cup between Tinkers Hill, the Herefordshire Beacon and Broad Down.
In June 2004, the Worcestershire Bat Group identified Tinkers hill wood as being home to a colony of barbastelles, a species of bat protected under the European Habitats Directive.[2]
