Worcestershire

Log cabin holidays in Worcestershire sit at the meeting point of some of the most beautiful countryside in the English Midlands. A county of striking contrasts, Worcestershire combines the dramatic ridge of the Malvern Hills in the west with the lush orchard country of the Vale of Evesham in the east, and a broad rural landscape in between that rewards slow exploration from a comfortable cabin base.

The Malvern Hills are the defining landscape feature of the county and one of the most recognisable skylines in England. Rising sharply from the Severn plain to over 400 metres, the ridge offers walking with views stretching from the Black Mountains of Wales to the Cotswold escarpment on a clear day. The Victorian spa town of Great Malvern sits at the foot of the hills and retains much of its original character, with a magnificent priory church, good independent shops and a thriving arts scene centred on the Malvern Theatres.

The Vale of Evesham is famous throughout Britain for its fruit and vegetable growing, and the blossom season in April transforms the landscape into something genuinely spectacular. The market towns of Evesham, Pershore and Upton upon Severn are all worth exploring, and the riverside at Upton in particular has a relaxed, unhurried quality that suits a cabin holiday perfectly.

Worcester city sits at the heart of the county on the banks of the Severn. The cathedral is one of the finest in England, with the tomb of King John and the chantry of Prince Arthur among its many treasures. The Commandery, a medieval timber framed building that served as the Royalist headquarters during the Battle of Worcester in 1651, tells the story of the English Civil War with real vividness, and the county cricket ground beside the river is one of the most beautiful in the country.

Log cabin holidays in Worcestershire are well suited to couples, families and walking enthusiasts. The county sits within easy reach of Birmingham,

Bristol and the wider Midlands, offers outstanding local food and drink including some of the finest cider and perry in England, and provides a genuinely peaceful base for exploring a part of the country that consistently surprises those who take the time to discover it properly.
