Worcester

I have just spent two days in Worcester, a city I’ve only visited previously during the winter. Although parts of it still clearly suffer from the unmistakeable, building style of the 1960s, none the less, there are areas that are quite charming and my strolls around following a couple of historic trails helped me discover some of those. One particular little gem was Greyfriars House and its beautiful gardens; a little oasis in the midst of shopping hustle and bustle.  And then there was King Charles’ House, from where King Charles II escaped after the Battle of Worcester in 1651
