This beautiful 16th century building in the heart of historic Friar Street is run as a museum by volunteers. Displays focus on the house's past, as a home to Tudor weavers through to its use as an ARP Warden's office in WW2, and a school clinic thereafter. A cafe serves tea, coffee and wrapped cakes on vintage bone china. There is a Tudor Rat trail and activities for children. Open Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday all year.

BRASSERIE@SIXWAYS My wife and I have just returned from a lovely evening at Brasserie@Sixways. Lovely food well cooked and well presented. Attentive but not overbearing waiting on staff. Great value for money. Some might use for a special occasion, others more frequently. Whichever, it is a great evening. Well done Warriors and well done Brasserie staff.

6. River Severn

This part of the River Severn, the longest river in Britain, meanders gently through the middle of Worcester city, from north to south, passing first through Bevere. It then journeys briefly through Barbourne, before passing Pitchcroft (Worcester's beautiful racecourse, with its lovely tree-lined perimeter walk) on its eastern bank, passing beneath the railway viaduct, and reaching the arches of Worcester's central and historic river bridge, connecting St Johns to the West of the city centre, with the main body of historic Worcester on the eastern side. Passing under the bridge we find the swan sanctuary, in the shadow of the 900 year old Worcester Cathedral, where it's not unusual to see as many as a hundred of these elegant birds gathered, and if you're really lucky, you'll see them flying too. Further downstream the Severn flows quietly past the Kings School boathouse and Diglis Hotel on the eastern bank, overlooking the lovely open meadows on the western banks. Further still, and the river reaches its junction with the Worcester Birmingham Canal on its eastern side, connecting the great river with, as the name suggests, Birmingham and its environs. It's incredible to think that throughout most of the 19th Century, this was the equivalent of the motorway, as goods were carried in both directions along its 29 mile length, facilitating commercial growth and trade throughout the Midlands. Just past this junction, the river splits, accommodating Diglis Island, to the west of which, the waters flow noisily over the weir, and on the eastern side, a more serene journey is enjoyed through the river locks. Once past the island, the river is united once more and, as it passes Worcester's official southern boundary, it is joined by the River Teme, flowing in from the west, a few hundred yards from the old Powick Bridge, and site of the first skirmish of the Civil War.

Enjoy a fantastic day for all ages set in a 10 acre maize field with the Malvern Hills as a fantastic backdrop. The Great Worcester Maze has lots to entertain for a full day out. Whether you choose to do a simple trail or be courageous and explore the large maze be sure to have a fantastic time, then play and relax in the adjoining courtyard with games such as; 'Goalie' Football, Rope Maze and many other giant garden games. Be sure to get plenty of perfect photo opportunities with the backdrop of the Malvern Hills and for the less bouncy and adventuresome get some refreshments and relax with the enjoyment of the fresh air and open space. To enjoy this countryside fun more than once this summer why not buy a season ticket to have no limit on the amount of times you visit!

In the interest of safety and hygiene only guide dogs allowed.

This has to be an ideal fun activity during COVID times as it's outside fun in the fresh air. Toilets, picnic areas and cafe are kept clean and the whole place is managed very well with friendly and helpful staff. Kids loved the mazes and the fun activity trails which is a lovely touch and all included in the very fair pricing....something which is very rare for a family day out these days. Also good selection of hot/cold food and drinks in the cafe, which is again fairly priced. Enjoyable day out!

10. Worcester Woods Country Park
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 401 reviews
Two nature reserves, a huge open field, busy countryside centre with award winning cafe and easy access from the city or the motorway, make this site very popular. There are two adventure play parks, ancient woodlands to explore and space to fly a kite or have a game of rounders. During school holidays you'll find a timetable of events to keep children entertained, which include jewellery making, sports sessions and arts and crafts. Two waymarked trails occupy the park if you fancy a stroll, one through the beautiful and colourful meadows and the other through the shaded woods. The park has an orienteering course and geocache for those on a quest. A popular place for families, where young and old can get together, maybe enjoy a summer BBQ or picnic or just take in the friendly environment that awaits you. Dogs welcome.
