Worcester Maps and Orientation

(Worcester, Worcestershire, England, UK)



Aerial picture of the cityscape and rooftopsWorcestershire's county town, the city of Worcester is located in the West Midlands region of England, where it is just a relatively short drive away from some famous British cities, such as Birmingham, Cheltenham, Gloucester and Stratford upon Avon. Worcester itself is divided into two main areas by the River Severn, which runs through the very heart of the city and alongside its majestic cathedral.

The centre of Worcester is to be found on the easterly side of the River Severn, being filled with places of interest, shops and restaurants, while to the west is Cripplegate Park and the Worcestershire County Cricket Ground. In the city centre, New Street and Friar Street merge to become an important thoroughfare, heading in a north to south direction and lined with attractions.


Maps and Orientation of the City

Within the Guildhall, the city's Tourist Information Centre is a good place to obtain free maps and brochures. If you are planning to properly explore the city, then do come here and pick up the official 'Worcester Map and Guide'. This leaflet folds up to become pocket-size and includes a large map of the city centre, with an extensive key clearly marking the location of the attractions, historic buildings, galleries, exhibition spaces, sporting and entertainment venues, shopping centres, walks and parks, all of which are clearly numbered.
