Where is Worcestershire?
Worcestershire is part of the West Midlands region of England. It shares a western border with Herefordshire, which includes a good slice of the Malvern Hills. On its southern border – shared with Gloucestershire, it also includes the top part of the evergreen Cotswolds.
Why live in Worcestershire?
Worcestershire is perfect for anyone looking for a peaceful, tranquil life but with the convenience of modern life at your fingertips.

The M5 runs through the county, placing Birmingham, Cheltenham, Gloucester and Bristol all within easy reach. Worcester’s rail links bring London closer, with just a 2-hour journey taking you to the heart of the capital.
You can expect a relaxed, peaceful day-to-day lifestyle in many of Worcestershire’s villages and small towns. You can regularly find names like Tenbury Wells, Malvern, Broadway and Bewdley in the top lists of the best places to live in the county, and even in the country. This is thanks to their welcoming communities, easy access to stunning greenery and period character.
This theme continues in Worcester itself. It’s a cathedral city that packs a fascinating history. The Museum of Royal Worcester, along with the cathedral, is the best place to explore the city’s past. The whole city centre is a joy to walk around, as are the city’s riverside areas, which offer up many of its best views. Worcester is also a lively place, packed with characterful pubs, independent shops and a varied dining and nightlife scene.
