Hope End

Hope End is an area and former estate of Herefordshire, England near the Malvern Hills, noted for its literary associations.

In 1831 an earlier guide, to Ledbury, noted Hope End among "gentlemen's seats and residences", by the Colwall road.

[2] This was Edward Moulton-Barrett, father of Elizabeth Barrett Browning who was brought up there; financial problems caused him to sell it the following year.

"[5] According to Elizabeth, the setting for her poem The Lost Bower was the wood above Hope End House's garden.

[6] Land at Hope End, around 100 hectares (250 acres), is on the Register of Historic Parks and Gardens of English Heritage.
