Worcestershire
Worcestershire is a county in the West Midlands defined by the Malvern Hills and the broad valley of the River Severn. From the historic city of Worcester to the spa town of Droitwich and the market towns of Evesham and Pershore, the area provides a peaceful lifestyle within easy reach of Birmingham and the Cotswolds.
The county offers many options for leisure and recreation. The Malvern Hills provide miles of ridge-top walks with views across the Severn Valley to the east and the Welsh mountains to the west. Residents can visit the West Midlands Safari Park near Bewdley or take a trip on the Severn Valley Railway, a preserved steam heritage line. Worcester Cathedral, situated on the banks of the river, houses the tomb of King John and features a library of medieval manuscripts.
For retail, residents visit the Kingfisher Shopping Centre in Redditch or the high-street and independent stores in Worcester city centre. The area has a notable history of manufacturing, particularly the Lea & Perrins factory in Worcester, which has been the sole producer of Worcestershire Sauce since the 1830s.
Worcestershire has strong transport links to the rest of the UK. The M5 motorway provides a direct route north to Birmingham and the Black Country and south towards Gloucestershire and Bristol. The M42 and M50 offer further links to the East Midlands and South Wales. Worcester Parkway and Bromsgrove railway stations provide frequent services to London Paddington, Birmingham New Street and Cardiff. For international travel, Birmingham Airport is approximately a 35-minute drive from the northern parts of the county.
