Summer in Worcestershire

What will your story be this summer?

Will you wake up in a historic coaching inn, spend your day cruising quiet canals in the rolling English countryside, or watch your family enjoy rural farming life in Worcestershire.

Worcestershire is a county full of stories waiting to be written – from the dramatic landscapes that inspired Tolkien to some of the most beautiful overnight accommodation in the county. Ideal for weekend escapes. 

Where will your story take you?

Escape to timeless luxury

Step into the world of classic English charm at The Lygon Arms Hotel. Located in the picturesque Broadway village, this historic hotel has welcomed guests for over 600 years. Will you indulge in its soothing spa, savour seasonal dishes in the grill by James Martin, or simply unwind under oak beams and stone walls that tell tales of royalty and rebels?

Climb a board your own adventure

Why watch the world go by when you can drift through it? With ABC Leisure, you can hire a canal boat and spend your summer break exploring Worcestershire’s tranquil waterways at your own pace. Moor up for lunch in cosy villages, spot kingfishers along the towpath, and end the day with sunset reflections across the water. Who will you bring along for the journey?
