This is a delightful corner of Worcestershire. It is possible to do a circular walk along the bank of the Leigh Brook, and then back up the hill and through the woodland. Very pleasant way to while away of couple of hours or more!

Toilets and water refill here 🙂

Lovely Abbey, but more importantly there are nice public toilets close and you can fill your water bottle there too 😁

Excellent home made cakes! Run by volunteers.

A very attractive building that appears more recent than it actually is (consecrated in 1879). Inside, the most immediate striking feature is The Corona above the nave altar - a circle of eight winged 'spirit figures'. Various alterations to the layout and function of the different areas have been made over the years and there are items from the old church (that this one replaced) and others. A lovely place to spend time in quiet contemplation.

Great church on the descent in Pershore direction. Beautiful mosaics inside

Until the later half of the 20th century, the bridge at Upton was the only one across the River Severn between Worcester and Tewkesbury; the present bridge was built in 1940. Oliver Cromwell's soldiers crossed the Severn here to win the battle of Upton before the main Battle of Worcester in the English Civil War.

Great views from a small hill. Croome Court Panorama Tower is very close, and it's definitely worth visiting - gorgeous views of Eastern Worcestershire & the Malvern Hills
