Explore the Countryside...

…the essence of England. Lying between the majestic Malvern Hills and the mellow Cotswolds.

…a county of contrasts. Charming villages, bustling towns and the magnificent cathedral city of Worcester nestle in a mixture of mature woodland, meandering river valleys, fruit orchards and farmland.

…a peaceful countryside with a turbulent past.  Rolling landscape, open hills and breathtaking views await you.  Cattle graze in the shadows of Iron Age hillforts, medieval settlement remains or on the former battlefields of the English Civil War.
