Living in Worcestershire
Worcestershire is England as you have always imagined it. A
county of small towns, one bustling cathedral city and plenty of
open green countryside, making it a most rural English county.
Located in the heart of England, Worcestershire comprises six
districts: Bromsgrove, Malvern Hills, Redditch, Worcester City,
Wychavon and Wyre Forest. Each of these has their own
particular character and attractions.
Worcestershire also has an outstanding and rich natural
environment, being home to spectacular features such as the Malvern
Hills and parts of the Wyre Forest. A large part of the
county is entirely rural, consisting of fields, orchards,
woodlands, meadow, ancient forests and rivers.
Though agricultural land and open countryside dominate the
landscape, 64% of the total population lives in urban areas.
Worcestershire is adjacent to the major West Midlands conurbation
and has generally good road access to and from the national
transport network.
