The Malvern Hills give the town a steep incline that makes getting around the town centre relatively tricky. At the heart of the town is a statue of Edward Elgar, who lived in and loved the town. There are many shops including two supermarkets (Waitrose and Somerfield — within 20 m of each other), W H Smith, Woolworths, Severn Office Supplies, Brays (a clothes store), and a Public Library. There is a fine Victorian railway station on the line from Worcester to Hereford. Malvern Theatres is the town's local theatre, and hosts a wide range of plays, films, and concerts. George Bernard Shaw co-founded the original theatre in Great Malvern. The Splash Leisure Complex has a swimming pool and gym. The Three Counties Showground, south of the town, is the location for the famous Three Counties Show and the Spring Gardening Show. There are many other events at the showground throughout the year.
