As the weather warms and flowers bloom, the city comes alive with activity, making it an ideal springtime escape. It has the perfect mix of being a peaceful break while also still having plenty to do and enjoy. One must-visit place is Worcester Cathedral which is a beautiful example of Norman architecture and the burial place of King John.

A visitor on Tripadvisor said: “Amazing - well worth a visit. To see great old historical buildings, a Sunday is the best day to visit as you hear the church bells in all their splendor. Must visit.”

Just a short walk away is the Museum of Royal Worcester, which houses an impressive collection of porcelain celebrating the city’s long-standing ceramic heritage. 

Nature lovers will enjoy the city’s scenic parks and riverside walks. Riverside Park provides beautiful walking and cycling paths along the Severn which is a popular place for visitors to head to.

No visit to the city would be complete without sampling its food, and a must-try is its iconic Worcestershire sauce.

You can also visit Worcester Woods Country Park which is another great place to enjoy the local scenery. 

A visitor on Tripadvisor said: “A great day out for all. Brilliant for families with clean toilets, free parking and a cafe on sight next to the play park. 

“Lots of open space and the woods are lovely for a walk. I take my dog here for lovely walks and the woods mean it is perfect in the summer to keep out the heat.”

With its unique blend of history, nature, and culture, Worcester is a wonderful place to explore this spring.
