Local Information and the Worcester Office Team
Worcester in the heart of England is a modern City with a rich heritage and an enviable location. It is surrounded by beautiful countryside and charming historic towns and villages, yet perfectly placed for access to the Midlands conurbation and other parts of Britain.
The City has a rich history from the time it was a centre for trade up and down the River Severn. Worcester Cathedral is a magnificent sight as it rises majestically above the river and has been the seat of a bishopric since the Seventh Century.
Sir Edward Elgar was born in Lower Broadheath just 3 miles outside Worcester. His great works were inspired by the Malvern Hills and surrounding countryside and lived all his life in his beloved Worcestershire.
The compact City centre is ideal for strolling, sightseeing and shopping. There is a great mixture of ancient buildings, modern shopping, street cafés and riverside walks. There are a number of excellent privates schools for all ages which are just some of the attractions for people moving into the area.
