The Malvern Hills are an iconic landscape with unique cultural heritage, wildlife and geology. The Malvern Hills Trust owns and cares for the Malvern Hills and Commons and keeps them open for the hundreds of thousands of visitors who come each year.
There are so many routes for walking these hills We walked over the top of the hills in a variety of different routes, there is also a circular walk, you need to wear decent footwear and plan for changes in weather Great exercise for the minimal cost of the car park £4.50 a day

The Great Witley Church is the U.K.’s finest baroque church. It is absolutely beautiful. The ceiling was painted by Antonio Bellucci. There are three main pictures, The Ascension, The Decent from the Cross, and The Nativity. Surrounding the three main paintings, are ten smaller paintings of cherubs. There is a mirror placed in the aisle for a better view of all the details of the ceiling. You can’t image how spectacular it is inside from what you see on the outside. It is an active church that holds regular services, concerts, and various other events. If you are in the area it is a fantastic place to go, the Witley Court is right next to the Great Witley Church, the crypt below was open when we visited (that is also worth checking out), and there is a wonderful tea room within walking distance.

Alpaca Experience in the beautiful Cotswolds. Visit our Alpaca Farm, a very unique and special experience meeting our herd, meeting the mum and babies, feeding some of the alpacas, them take one of boys for a walk. Also available: Spinning Lessons, group talk, fleece for sale.
We had a lovely morning with Ginnie and the alpacas and were able to feed them and get up close. We had an experience meeting and feeding the boy alpacas first and then onto the girls (who were a bit more feisty) and then the mums and baby alpacas. We finished by walking the two males (Ewan and Cosmo) and taking them through the obstacle course. Ginnie was extremely knowledge about the animals and it was great to learn so much about them and get up close to them. Would highly recommend this experience to anyone!

The Regal Cinema in Tenbury Wells opened in 1937. Since then it has provided cinema entertainment for the town and the surrounding area, under commercial and volunteer-run groups. Today, the Regal is owned by Tenbury Town Council and operates as a multi-use arts venue run by the Regal Tenbury Trust. Visitors are welcome to drop in and experience the beautiful Art Deco murals in the auditorium and the small cinema museum free of charge whenever the box office is open and no film or performance is taking place.
We went and saw Andre Rieu's annual concert in Masstrick and everybody enjoyed themselves including us.

Having seen Bredon Hill many times from the top of the Malverns I had wanted to do this walk for a long time. Although not as high as Worcestershire Beacon on the Malverns, Bredon Hill is by no means its inferior little brother. The walk is just as rewarding and the scenery is equally as dramatic...with spectacular 360 degree views across the Vale of Evesham, the Cotswolds and the Malverns. The summit point by the tower is the perfect place for a picnic and whilst it was clearly a popular spot on the day of our visit, there is oodles of room for everyone & you can easily enjoy your own piece of solitude whilst taking in the stunning panaromic views. We started our walk from Elmley Castle village and make sure you visit its very pretty church yard before you leave. In summary, this was a truly inspirational walk which on a beautiful sunny day is the perfect way to help lift anyone out of lockdown lethargy.

The gardens were lovely for a little walk with plenty of benches to sit down. There was lots of space. Well worth a short visit

We have visited Hanbury Hall many times and have enjoyed each visit. We love to see the beautiful murial mythical paintings and feel the olden day experience. We like to walk around the gardens and see the orchards and peer into the orangery. I have liked to go and just see the holly and the friendly robin who comes to say hi. Each season gives something new. We have enjoyed Christmas time reminiscent 70s and 80th themed rooms and the beautiful Xmas trees. We have enjoyed picnic in the summer by the boggy pond which was actually so atmospheric and walked on the ice house and through the sheep. we see the formal garden change from flowers to greens.

The Museum of Royal Worcester holds the largest collection of Worcester porcelain in the world. In recent years the Museum has undergone a major £1.7 million refurbishment supported by the Heritage Lottery Fund. Whilst being fresh and modern, the displays pay homage to a magnificent history and heritage. The Museum's galleries and showcases are swathed in sumptuous colours showing the collection off to its best advantage. With the recreation of the factory workshop and family parlour amongst some of the displays and high quality interactives there is something for everyone.
I was in Worcester with some spare time and an online search of museums brought up the Royal Worcester museum. I went along and was able to spend around an hour exploring this fascinating collection which starts with how China is made, designed and printed etc. It is a very colourful and superb collection in a spacious and light building. The staff are very friendly and e shop is excellent. There is also an adjacent café where you can get refreshment after your visit.

we visited just after the Government lifted restrictions for museums and historical places ,operating an one way system and hand sanitizers in place. we went on a hot day and the walk through the wooded area was lovely and cool with some benches available to seat on which was nice. A must see is the fountain which turns on every hour absolutely fantastic sight , the ruins was also great it must had been a wonderful sight in it's days. Also a great area for a picnic if you fancy a nice cup of tea and cake then take a visit to the cafe.
