Welcome to Worcester
The historic City of Worcester lies beside the River Severn some 25 miles from the Cotswolds and the village of Broadway (the Northern Gateway to the Cotswolds) featuring many Areas of Outstanding National Beauty. Lying within the heart of the city is a magnificent Cathedral, perched upon the riverbank, which dominates the skyline for miles around.
Driving through the city and surrounding areas you will get to see stunning and cutting-edge architecture including the award-winning design of The Hive (Europe’s first joint public and university library), landmarks such as the county’s most picturesque Cricket ground and views to the famous Malvern Hills amongst so many other historic sites such as the Birthplace of Edward Elgar.

The bustling city centre has a variety of independent shops, bars and restaurants including Cathedral Plaza. As an ever-improving city, there is another major regeneration of Worcester’s city centre set to go ahead, bringing further housing and businesses to the area. Worcester is home to our award winning, architecturally outstanding library called The Hive, which was opened by Her Majesty the Queen in 2012.
The city is steeped in history something which is apparent within its many period buildings and landmarks throughout. Worcester was also a big part of the Civil War and you can even eat in a pub once occupied by royalty! King Charles II escaped his enemies from what is now known as King Charles House after the Battle of Worcester on September 3, 1651. Some say this is when Worcester gained its nickname, ‘The Faithful City’ originating from the Latin ‘Civitas Fidelis’.
