Little Magnolia

A little more information on Worcester

Upton upon Severn is a charming little town on the banks of the River Severn with a range of charming 17th century houses and stores, including 'The Pudding Shop,' as well as traditional inns, cafes, restaurants, and its own museum. It also hosts a number of annual festivals, including the Sunshine Music Festival and the Jazz, Folk, and Blues Festivals. The town's mediaeval church, which is now a Heritage Centre, is topped with a magnificent 18th century cupola known locally as 'The Pepperpot.' It also boasts its own harbour, winery, and well-stocked farm shop at the nearby fruit farm. The Malvern Hills and the picturesque Worcestershire town of Malvern are only 6 miles away. The Malvern Hills, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty with 100 miles of footpaths and bridleways, are a 9-mile stretch of old rock. The Great Malvern Food Festival, held in June, is a must-see, as are the many events held at the Three Counties Show Ground and the Malvern Theatre, which hosts West End and Royal Shakespeare Company plays. In the area, there are numerous National Trust sites, vineyards, and gardens, as well as outdoor activities for people of all abilities. Black-and-white mansions and inns abound in surrounding market towns like Ledbury and Tewkesbury.
