This part of England offers a wealth for visitors to see, so book a holiday cottage in Worcestershire and relax every night in the comfort of your own home from home. The natural areas in this ancient county, stretching from the Malvern Hills to the valleys of the Teme and Severn rivers include the gardens and orchards of the Vale of Evesham, the Wyre Forest, the Lickey Hills, perched on the edge of Birmingham, and the remains of the once-great abbeys and priories of Evesham, Pershore, Little and Great Malvern. Worcestershire's progress from pre-historic times, through civil strife in the 17th century, to the social changes of the industrial era may be seen in the fascinating open air Avon Croft Museum near Bromsgrove which features original houses and buildings brought to and rebuilt on the site. Please note: as picturesque as some of Avon Cfort's buildings might be, none of them (as yet) can ben booked for a self catering holiday!

The city of Worcester offers visitors a choice of experiences, from First Class Cricket at the County Ground on the banks of the River Severn, to the wonderful Worcester Cathedral, where a former King of England was buried. More recently the interior was used as a location for Harry Potter films. For sports fans, take in a first class cricket match watching Worcesterhire or during the rugby season enjoy top class rugby watching the Worcester Warriers in their magnificent stadium just outside the city. Garden lovers should plan a weekend break in a holiday cottage in May to visit the Royal Horticultural Society's impressive Spring Festival at the Three Counties Showground in Malvern.
