Holiday Cottages Worcestershire

Here's what you can see and do when staying at one of our Worcestershire cottages.

From prehistory to the present, this county with all its variety represents England in miniature. For this reason when it comes to taking a holiday cottage Worcestershire provides an enjoyable destination. Here is a pastoral landscape from the Malvern Hills to the fertile Vale of Evesham, the cathedral city of Worcester at its heart and industrial development that can all be enjoyed from one of our Worcestershire cottages.

A popular destination for those staying in cottages in Worcestershire are the Malverns Hills - rising from the River Severn plain and forming a striking landmark visible from afar, although only nine miles long. It is difficult to walk on these hills, without hearing in one's mind one of the Enigma Variations by the county's most famous son - the great English composer Edward Elgar. Malvern's natural springs made it one of the most popular spa towns in the Victorian era, with many of the grand 19th century buildings remaining. Gushing from the hills is a well-known brand of bottled water.

With two of England's most famous rivers flowing through it - the Severn and the Avon, Worcestershire is fertile land. The Vale of Evesham is one of the country's best known fruit growing and market gardening areas. In the south lies Broadway, the gateway to the Cotswolds. It is an attractive place and popular destination.

The great cathedral of Worcester overlooks the River Severn. This was the setting for blood-letting and civil strife during the English Civil War - both the first and last battles were here. Worcester celebrates its Royal allegiance in its motto, The Faithful City. The modern era saw canals driven through from the north of the county to the Black Country from Stourport and Birmingham from Worcester. The famous Severn Valley Railway built to transport fresh produce and coal now still travels its steam-powered route from Kidderminster through the ancient wildwood of Wyre Forest. In short, when you're seeking a holiday where accommodation is based in cottages Worcestershire has much to offer.
