Things to Do in Worcester
Worcester has a riverside cathedral, the story of the last battle of the Civil War and the Malvern Hills on its doorstep. Here is how to spend a day.
Worcester Cathedral
Worcester Cathedral stands above the River Severn, with the tomb of King John in the choir and a Norman crypt beneath. The tower can be climbed on some days for views over the city.
