Wyche (/wɪtʃ/ WITCH), often referred to locally as The Wyche, is a village and a suburb of the town of Malvern, Worcestershire, England, and part of the civil parish of Malvern Wells.
The western boundary of the village is marked by The Wyche Cutting, a pass through the Malvern Hills that was once part of an Iron Age salt route, hence the name "Wyche" — several places in England associated with salt have this (or similar) in their name.
As the crest of the Malvern Hills (running north to south) defines this part of the border between the two counties of Herefordshire and Worcestershire, The Wyche Cutting itself forms a narrow pass through the hills between the counties.
[2] Just on the Herefordshire side of the Cutting (in Upper Colwall) is the location of the Wyche Innovation Centre,[3] that was the former Skot Transformers building.
This is also the home of the Malvern Hills Geocentre,[4] a visitor centre based entirely on iPads with an attached cafe.
