Tips

White Ladies Priory was founded in the 12th century. Its residents were nuns who wore white cloth, hence the name. The priory found itself at the epicentre of the English Civil War for a short period when King Charles II hid there as he fled Cronwell’s army after his defeat at the Battle of Worcester in 1951. The impressive ruins are free-to-enter.

Pay attention to the maps, as its not directly on a footpath. You walk very close on the Monarchs Way but its easily missed.
