Days Out in Worcestershire for Couples

Worcestershire is a picturesque county in the heart of England, offering an abundance of getaways for couples. Whether you’re looking for relaxation, exhilaration, culture, cuisine or romance, there are days out in Worcestershire for you and your partner.

Allens Caravans can provide the perfect home away from home to start your days out in Worcestershire. Our Bredon View holiday park lies amid woodland and its own golf course on the River Avon, between the market town of Pershore and the edge of the Cotswolds. And the rest of Worcestershire is within easy reach for a day out by car, taxi, or train.

You can explore charming market towns, historic cities, or pretty villages. See this beautiful county from the water, a high vantage point at the summit of a hill – or higher yet from the air. Take a romantic walk along ancient lanes bordered by wildflowers or through a timeless town as evening falls. Experience fresh local produce, friendly pubs, and the finest restaurants – or feed your mind with a museum visit or a walking tour.

Here are some of the best spots for a memorable day out with your partner, including specific activities to make your visit even more special.

1. Malvern: An Elegant Victorian Spa Town

Nestled at the foot of the Malvern Hills, Malvern is renowned for its stunning landscapes and Victorian charm. The Malvern Hills are crisscrossed by walking routes – whether you choose something gentle or a more vigorous ascent, you’ll be rewarded with breathtaking panoramic views at the top.

For a more structured journey, you can follow the Elgar Route, a trail dedicated to the famous composer Edward Elgar, taking you through the buildings and places connected with his life and the landscapes that inspired him. You can visit Croome Court, an 18th-century mansion surrounded by beautiful parkland. After dinner in one of Malvern’s fine pubs or restaurants, you can end your day with a romantic walk under the town's famous gas streetlamps, creating a charming and nostalgic atmosphere.

2. Tenbury Wells: A Traditional Market Town

Sited at an ancient crossing of the River Teme and surrounded by orchards and farmland, Tenbury Wells offers a traditional and relaxing atmosphere that is perfect for a romantic day out. Begin your visit by shopping at the Round Market, where you can find local crafts and produce. Take a peaceful walk through the Millennium Orchard – with 44 varieties of apple trees planted on a spectacular hillside; this is a serene spot for a leisurely stroll.

Explore the town's many independent food and produce shops, pubs, and restaurants, sampling local delicacies and enjoying the friendly atmosphere. You may be able to visit the town’s restored Pump Rooms – an architectural oddity from the 1860s in a curious ‘Chinese Gothic’ style and now a council and community hall.

3. Upton Upon Severn: A Medieval River Town

With its half-timber buildings and quaint architecture, Upton Upon Severn is a delightful place to explore with your other half. Start your visit with a trip to Clive's Fruit Farm, where you can amble through the orchards and, at the right time of year, pick your own pears, plums, and cherries, enjoy fresh produce in the café and stock up on all sorts of locally sourced farm foods.

Visit the Tudor House Museum to learn about the town's rich history. During the summer, Upton hosts several music festivals dedicated to rock, pop, folk, jazz, and blues music. These offer lively entertainment and a chance to experience local culture. Wander through the town’s narrow streets and discover its charming boutiques and cafes.

4. Pershore: A Charming Georgian Market Town

Located on the River Avon, Pershore is known for its beautiful Georgian architecture and vibrant market scene. Begin your visit with a walk through Abbey Park, home to the impressive Pershore Abbey. Explore the town’s independent shops and enjoy lunch at one of its many cosy cafes. For a touch of the outdoors, take a paddleboard safari on the River Avon, with the chance of seeing local wildlife such as herons, skylarks, kingfishers, and deer, as well as getting into the very midst of the Worcestershire countryside.

5. Broadway: The Jewel of the Cotswolds

Broadway is often referred to as 'the Jewel of the Cotswolds,' and it’s easy to see why. This charming country village boasts picturesque streets lined with honey-coloured stone buildings. Go on a guided walking tour of the Cotswolds to learn about the area's history and see its most beautiful spots. Visit Broadway Tower Country Park – the tower itself is a unique folly offering stunning views over the Cotswolds. For a very different experience, go underground and explore the preserved nuclear bunker that’s on the same site, then enjoy a leisurely lunch at one of the village’s quaint pubs or tea rooms.

Or try outdoor activities at Farncombe Estate, where you can enjoy everything from archery and tennis to wine tasting and falconry amid 500 acres of Cotswold countryside.

For a fun and unique activity, visit Mr Mulligans, an indoor adventure golf venue. Explore the grand Witley Court & Gardens, where you can wander through the romantic ruins of a former grand house and its beautiful, restored gardens. Back in town, join one of the city's walking tours to learn about Worcester’s rich history and discover hidden gems. If you can’t decide what to see first, take to the skies with a balloon flight for a truly memorable experience that will also let you see so much more of Worcestershire, the Cotswolds, and the Malvern Hills.
