The cathedral in its magnificent riverside setting provides a backdrop to a city that contrasts the half-timbered ‘Tudor House’ in Friar Street, the Commandery with its Great Hall and the Guildhall with its elaborate facade, believed to be the finest example of early Georgian architecture in the country, with the 21st century Crowngate Development. From the bus station a short escalator ride whisks us up into what is arguably one of the Midlands’ most elegant shopping malls. Here you may browse at leisure or for the inquisitive a set of brass plaques at strategic locations puts you in the picture of ‘Olde Worlde Worcester’. Home to world famous Royal Worcester Spode and the Dyson Perrins Museum of fine porcelain, nearby the Commandery housed the Royalist Headquarters during the Battle of Worcester. Take a leisurely journey down the river on one of the pleasure cruisers or search out one of the many cafes and bistros for an excellent lunch. Enjoy fine ales brewed on the premises at Worcester’s very own brewery. A visit to remember with something for everyone. 7 24pp DL TT Booklet REV4_Layout 1 27/04/2010 13:33 Page 8 e d a 44 o Belmont Dyson 44A R Perrins School r 44B te s To e w 44A c n r s U o e p n p W d e r W H Malvern a o Malvern y w s Retail Park 44A e P N Link ic ll k e R A e 44A w o v rs a e le t d n i e o u g 44B n w e h a n L Malvern r 44 R e nd Link t P E o A s i Sherrards a lbe c rt e d k th d P r ad ar c a e o o k r o r N R R s Green ld d o R fie .
