By 1660 Worcester was the 12th largest city in England despite the effects of being the location of the first and last Battle of the English Civil Wars, discover the story of the Civil Wars at The Commandery. Today Worcestershire has layers of history that are waiting to be uncovered, from the Royal Worcester Porcelain to the Needle making supplying the world and Worcesters Glove making history. The Vale of Evesham is brimming with Fruits and Vegetables, blossom trees, plums and Asparagus highlight the calendar year making the towns and villages a colourful delight to visit.

Historic houses can be found in every corner of the county adding to the grandeur as you explore Worcestershire. With over 6000 Grade I and Grade II listed buildings including ones you can visit such as Harvington Hall with its priest holes, Witley Court with is amazing fountain and Hanbury Hall with it’s stunning staircase painting.
