Worcester is a city and county town of Worcestershire, in the West Midlands of England. Worcester is situated some 30 miles southwest of Birmingham, 29 miles north of Gloucester, and has an estimated population of 94,300 people. The River Severn runs through the middle of the city, overlooked by the 12th century Worcester Cathedral.
The site of the final battle of the English Civil War, Worcester was where Oliver Cromwell's New Model Army defeated King Charles I's Cavaliers, resulting in a ten year period where England and Wales became a republic. Worcester is also the home of Royal Worcester Porcelain and the late composer Sir Edward Elgar.
Worcestershire is a county located in the West Midlands region of central England. From 1974 to 1998 it was administered as part of Hereford and Worcester. Other than the city of Worcester, there are several other small to medium sized towns such as Kidderminster, Bromsgrove, Malvern, Pershore, Evesham and Redditch. The southern part of the county is still largely rural. Notable suburbs in Worcester include Claines, St Peter the Great, Red Hill and Ronkswood. Most of Worcester is on the eastern side of the River Severn; Henwick, Lower Wick and St. John's are on the western side. Industry is now quite varied. In the 19th and early twentieth century, Worcester was a major centre for glove manufacture. There are three main parks in Worcester, these being Cripplegate Park, Gheluvelt Park and Fort Royal Park, the latter being on one of the battles sites of the English Civil War. Gheluvelt Park was opened as a memorial to commemorate the Worcestershire Regiment's 2nd Battalion after their part in the Battle of Gheluvelt, during World War I.
Worcestershire is a fairly rural county. The Malvern Hills, which run from the south of the county into Herefordshire.
The Malvern Hills are a famous beauty spot, with scenic views over both Herefordshire and Worcestershire. The Hills run north/south for about 13 km (eight miles), in between Great Malvern and the village of Colwall, and overlook the River Severn valley to the east, with the Cotswolds beyond. The highest point of the hills is the Worcestershire Beacon at 425 metres (1395 ft) above sea level, though they give the impression of looking considerably higher. The hills are famous for their natural mineral springs and wells, and were responsible for the development of Great Malvern as a spa in the early 19th century.
Worcestershire Beacon, also popularly known as Worcester Beacon, is a hill whose summit is the highest point of the Malvern Hills. The Malvern Hill range runs some 13 kilometres north-south along the Herefordshire-Worcestershire border, although Worcestershire Beacon itself lies entirely within Worcestershire.
The hill itself appears to mark the northern terminal of the ancient shire ditch and was used for at least two Bronze Age burials. The 'ditch' seems to have linked Midsummer Hillfort via the Herefordshire Beacon.
