Worcester is a stunning Cathedral and University city, rich in history and nestled in the heart of the West Midlands along the banks of the River Severn. The city is home to striking architecture, renowned sports teams and venues, and an exceptional mix of independent boutiques alongside well‑known high street names. Its lively calendar of events adds to the vibrant atmosphere.
Just steps from the Cathedral lie Friar Street and New Street, two of Worcester’s most historic thoroughfares. Here you’ll find two of the city’s oldest pubs. The Cardinal’s Hat on Friar Street, Worcester’s oldest inn dating back to the 14th century, serves craft ales alongside mouth‑watering homemade pies and sharing boards. Meanwhile, King Charles House on New Street, now a restaurant, holds a unique place in British history.
