There is also a big video screen displaying geology, wildlife and culture of the Malvern Hills. Visitors can purchase the Geopark Way trail guidebook and associated geological map as well as other geology and landscape trail guidebooks and many things geological.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">As he opened the Centre, Chris remarked on its excellent position half way along the Geopark Way and that it is surrounded by fantastic geology.. He praised the ambition of Emma and Adrian of KeyIQ, of the Earth Heritage Trust and the Geopark partners and he thanked the AONB for grant aid. This is a facility with a great future. Last but by no means least, he mentioned the integral cafe as an important attraction (great cakes) to all the walkers passing by.<\/p>\n<table cellspacing=\"0\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>\t<!--\r\n\t<link rel='stylesheet' href='\/wp-content\/plugins\/simple-gallery-odihost\/css\/gallery.css' type='text\/css' media='all' \/>\r\n\t<link rel='stylesheet' href='\/wp-content\/plugins\/simple-gallery-odihost\/css\/lightbox.css' type='text\/css' media='all' \/>\r\n\t-->\r\n\t<div class=\"gallery-wrapper\">\r\n\t<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"root\" id=\"root\" value=\"http:\/\/geopark.org.uk\/pub\">\r\n\t\t\r\n\t<div class=\"gallery_thumbnail\">\r\n\t\t<div class=\"single-thumbnail\" style=\"width:230px;height:150px;\">\r\n\t\t\t<a href=\"http:\/\/geopark.org.uk\/pub\/wp-content\/uploads\/easy-gallery\/10\/201401114305-At-the-iPad-stands.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox[10]\" class=\"image_thumb\">\r\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/geopark.org.uk\/pub\/wp-content\/plugins\/simple-gallery-odihost\/includes\/thumb.php?src=http:\/\/geopark.org.uk\/pub\/wp-content\/uploads\/easy-gallery\/10\/201401114305-At-the-iPad-stands.jpg&w=230&h=150&zc=1\" \/>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"image-caption\" style=\"display:none;
