In the heart of England, Worcestershire is easily accessible and an ideal county for a short break away.

Explore the peaceful countryside with its rolling hills, including the imposing Malvern Hills, waterways and walking routes. Or, visit charming villages and busy towns, where a wide choice of independent shops awaits you.

For the history lovers; discover Iron Age hillforts, former battlefields of the English Civil War or medieval settlement remains. Visit the National Trust Properties of Hanbury Hall and Croome Court or a variety of museums – there are so many to choose from. Try to fit in a stop at the city of Worcester and its Cathedral, one of the oldest in the country and the final resting place of King John.

Take a ride on the steam powered trains of the Severn Valley Railway or step (well drive) in to the wild at the West Midlands Safari Park.

And, of course, there are plenty of eateries, restaurants and local festivals for the foodies amongst you.
