The River Severn flows past some charming country towns such as Upton Upon Severn. A scattering of Georgian Inns can be found throughout the town and provide reminders of its fascinating history. Upton's heritage centre, The Pepper Pot vividly exhibits the town's heritage and is the site of the Battle of Upton, which took place in 1651.

Worcestershire is also walking country. The Malvern Hills offer some great trails and paths that wind across dramatic hills and forests. The same is true of the Wyre Forest which affords one some great views of the meandering River Severn, which flows lazily through the county.
