Luxury self-catering accommodation in Worcestershire
South of Birmingham, Worcestershire's varied terrain includes several big towns, the River Severn, and a good chunk of the Malvern Hills.
Couples choosing a chocolate box cottage on a village green or families booking a large self-catering home when visiting Worcestershire can enjoy the dramatic contrasts of the region. Home to thrilling Cheltenham Racecourse, there is stunning scenery all around, and a heritage trip to the cathedral city of Worcester is a good place to start, taking an amble around where Worcester porcelain and Worcestershire Sauce call home; pop into the many museums and art galleries that reflect the vibrant colours of the city.
The Worcester and Birmingham Canal hints at this area's waterway legacy; stay within easy reaching distance, then hop on a narrowboat to explore the area from the sparkling waters. Centrally located Droitwich Spa is famous for its salt, and hosts a festival dedicated to the subject every year. The brooding Malvern Hills flaunt miles of rugged scenery to hike across; pack binoculars to spot wildlife as you go, before heading back to your luxury retreat to relax and revive.
