Just 30 miles southwest of Birmingham, Worcester is a cathedral city steeped in history, extending back to Neolithic times. It's the home of famed Royal Worcester Porcelain, the beloved Worcestershire sauce, and a university that contributes to the vibrancy of city life. No visit to Worcester would be complete without its crown jewel, the Worcester Cathedral, standing grandly on the banks of the River Severn. Once a centre of monastic learning, you can still feel its ancient history in the cool stone walls and echoing cloisters.

Worcester's past is a page-turner, featuring Romano-British settlements, decisive battles of the English Civil War, and times of prosperity and glovemaking. Its struggles and triumphs are echoed in both its architecture and in its reputation as "The Faithful City". Glimpses of its industrial heritage still linger in and amongst the contemporary commercial and retail environment, presenting a fascinating symbiosis of then and now.

When to visit Worcester

In truth, there is genuinely never a bad time to visit Worcester. The city dances to a different rhythm in each season, providing you with unique experiences all year round. Softly swathed in pink cherry bloom, springtime in Worcester opens the doors to heartwarming strolls and outdoor activities.

For the lowest chance of rain or snow, consider visiting between September and November.
