The imposing Anglican Worcester Cathedral has stood in the city since 1084. As well as providing architecture lovers with fascinating cloisters and tombs to explore, the Cathedral also hosts several community events, including some excellent classical music concerts.

Situated close to the beautiful Malvern Hills and the River Severn, Worcester is within a green belt region that extends into the wider surrounding counties which are dotted with picture-postcard villages and rural hamlets.
