| | | Some of the landmarks from the time of Charles II still stand in Worcester.
The Commandery, where Charles made his headquarters during the battle, is now a museum, and has many exhibits about the civil war period.
Fort Royal, a vital artillery position that was held by Royalist troops and captured by the Parliamentary army under Oliver Cromwell, is now a park. It has great views of the City.
Parts of the old city walls can be seen alongside the City Walls Road.
At the back of these lies the King Charles House, from where Charles II made his escape after the Battle of Worcester. It's now a restaurant.
Charles watched the battle unfolding from the tower at Worcester cathedral. You can still go up there, but it's a long climb. If you don't fancy all those steps then take a look at our panoramic picture from the top of the cathedral. | | | |
