Local Area
The City of Worcester & surrounding area has much to offer the visitor.
We are very close to the city of Worcester where time can be spent visiting
The Cathedral and The Porcelain Works. There are also several museums and the fascinating Elgar Centre. Why not take a trip on the beautiful River Severn or pay a visit to the County Cricket Ground. You could try your hand at shooting or fishing nearby or visit the local riding schools or golf clubs.
We are only five minutes away from Worcestershire’s Premiership Rugby Club the home of the Worcester Warriors, which owes it’s foundations to the cleric, the Rev Francis John Eld, a headmaster of the Worcester Royal Grammar School. It is recorded that the club began under “ most favourable auspices” with members paying a small subscription, and were each asked to find a friend to play who lived within three minutes of the city.
"The game is more than the player, the ship is
more than the crew” -Rudyard Kipling
Nearby Pershore provides local charm with it's Abbey and Georgian High Street whilst Bredon, Great Malvern and the glorious Malvern Hills are only 10 minutes away. The Three Counties Showground at Malvern hosts some of the countries best events, and Upton-Upon-Severn with it's quaint riverside charm is a great favourite for days out.
Slightly further afield are historic Stratford-Upon-Avon, The Cotswolds and Cheltenham.

Visit the Jinny Ring Centre in Hanbury near Bromsgrove where you will find a range of craft workshops, gallery and a farmhouse restaurant serving morning coffee, afternoon tea, or a more substantial meal, whilst taking in the views across the gardens to the Malvern Hills. They are probably the most visited craft centre in the West Midlands and pride themselves as being a traditional craft centre where you can watch skilled craftsmen (and women) at work - rather like stepping back in time to the days of Olde England.
