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

My husband and I booked the all day bird handling with eagles and vultures package and we loved every minute of it. Our falconers were wonderful and made sure we handled more birds than were guaranteed. I had a special request to be able to handle both new and old world vultures and they made an extra effort to make that happen. They let me know up front they couldn't promise that because birds go off show to molt and have bad days, but they would make a note. I got lucky and was able to hold both a new and old world vulture. Andy is wonderful, I can't imagine anyone not enjoying his company. One thing to be aware of is you go through a garden center (store) to get to the center, that threw us off when we were looking for it. It's nothing to worry about just be aware when you park at the garden center you are where you need to be.
3. Great Witley Parish Church

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.

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.

Having attempted several days out with the kids over the summer, this has been the best experience in the area by a long way. Covid-19 safety measures were very well thought out and because they were frequently signposted around the setting, the vast majority of visitors were adhering to them. They have introduced a one way system (with some optional shortcuts for tired legs) that genuinely work and personally I think the whole experience is all the better for it as it reduces pinch points. Staff were a visible presence, cleaning frequently and all were friendly and affable. Numbers allowed in have been clearly well managed so everyone gets their own space and ample time to explore all that’s on offer. Always loved visiting All Things Wild and our children thoroughly enjoy the range of experiences available and how there’s always something a little different every time. Post-Covid set-up is perfect. Well done All Things Wild, you’ve nailed it.

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.

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.
8. Avoncroft Museum Of Historic Buildings
Overall Ratings

An open-air museum of 30 rescued historic buildings which have been dismantled and moved from around the counties of the West Midlands to prevent their destruction. Set in 19 acres of attractive parkland these buildings show how the people of the region have lived, worked and played over the last 700 years.
Reviewed By J9537HLmargaretl
From the lovely, friendly welcome on arrival to the care taken throughout the site in keeping visitors safe, this museum is the best. Being an outdoor place, it has been ideal for us to meet up here as a family during Covid restrictions. The facilities are well planned and kept safe with plenty of signage and compliance. The small ones love the play areas and the older kids love the space. There are well maintained picnic spots but the main recommendation for Avoncroft are the knowledgeable and kindly staff.
9. Arley Arboretum
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 303 reviews
These beautiful historic gardens and arboretum dating back to the late 1700's are surrounded by over 1600 acres of countryside within the picturesque village of Upper Arley beside the river Severn. In addition to providing wonderful walks through the 300 ancient trees of the arboretum there are walks along the banks of the river, all set in the beautiful Worcestershire countryside with far reaching views. Go back in time and watch the Severn Valley Railway trains steam across the hill from one of the magnificent signposted walks. An ideal day out for you and your family with an adventure play area and a maze for the kids as well as interactive trails and seasonal events. The Italian Garden with feature fountains and formal planting is a must see along with our Magnolia Garden, 65m laburnum arch, Camilla walk, Acer amd the majestic autumn colours. There is a wonderful garden tea room, serving homemade food and a delicious array of cakes and speciality hot and cold drinks.

Wanted to take mum out for the afternoon & opted for Arley. Been meaning to go for ages & finally got round to it. So glad we did because it was a perfect afternoon with sunshine & a easy walk around the site taking in some marvellous tree specimens. Café was average in décor & food - opted for tea & a bacon buttie. Staff were friendly & efficient. Recommended.

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.

Amazing medieval space that was saved for the city. Fascinating history and a very interesting video on the town history. Well worth a visit.
