Herefordshire and Worcestershire has so many things to do and so many places to visit you will be more than surprised.

With the many art galleries and museums, you will never be stuck of things to do. Not to mention the many events these venues hold throughout the year.

Elgar's birthplace is a great place to visit to find out more about the life of the great composer.

While The Commandery in Worcester gives in detail the events leading up to the battle and the course of the conflict itself, you can also join a mock jury to try Charles I, and walk through a recreation of the Scots troop encampment as it might have been on the eve of the battle.

Or on a lighter note why not visit Eastnor Castle in the dramatic setting of the Malvern Hills and surrounded by a beautiful deer park, arboretum and lake.
