The Wheatsheaf Inn

Reviewed By SailorGerry505

I’ve visited this pub on many occasions since September. Moved to Worcester from Birmingham for my first year at University and just stepping stones away from my accommodation this gem has become my local. During these nerving times for most, the venue holds itself as the warmest atmosphere I have experienced in a local pub, the staff work extremely hard to make myself and my friends feel comfortable when visiting, the real ale is to die for and their pint of Guinness is the best in Worcester! The locals make us feel so welcome no matter what day of the week there is always a friendly face to talk too. Would definitely recommend visiting this riverside pub.

Trimpley Reservoir.

Reviewed By LauraDaveJames - Solihull, United Kingdom

There are several free carparks around Eymore Wood, the one by the water treatment plant is closest to the reservoir. The path to the reservoir is next to the water treatment plant and goes through a wood with a pedestrian crossing over the Severn Valley railway line. It is set in a beautiful wooded valley with a large and small reservoir and borders the River Severn. We very much enjoyed a quiet and peaceful walk.

River Severn

Reviewed By WillR393 - Great Malvern, United Kingdom

This part of the River Severn, the longest river in Britain, meanders gently through the middle of Worcester city, from north to south, passing first through Bevere. It then journeys briefly through Barbourne, before passing Pitchcroft (Worcester's beautiful racecourse, with its lovely tree-lined perimeter walk) on its eastern bank, passing beneath the railway viaduct, and reaching the arches of Worcester's central and historic river bridge, connecting St Johns to the West of the city centre, with the main body of historic Worcester on the eastern side. Passing under the bridge we find the swan sanctuary, in the shadow of the 900 year old Worcester Cathedral, where it's not unusual to see as many as a hundred of these elegant birds gathered, and if you're really lucky, you'll see them flying too. Further downstream the Severn flows quietly past the Kings School boathouse and Diglis Hotel on the eastern bank, overlooking the lovely open meadows on the western banks. Further still, and the river reaches its junction with the Worcester Birmingham Canal on its eastern side, connecting the great river with, as the name suggests, Birmingham and its environs. It's incredible to think that throughout most of the 19th Century, this was the equivalent of the motorway, as goods were carried in both directions along its 29 mile length, facilitating commercial growth and trade throughout the Midlands. Just past this junction, the river splits, accommodating Diglis Island, to the west of which, the waters flow noisily over the weir, and on the eastern side, a more serene journey is enjoyed through the river locks. Once past the island, the river is united once more and, as it passes Worcester's official southern boundary, it is joined by the River Teme, flowing in from the west, a few hundred yards from the old Powick Bridge, and site of the first skirmish of the Civil War.

Droitwich Canals

Reviewed By B9730YJpaulf - Chesterfield, United Kingdom

I love canals so this place was lovely to visit. This part sits in a lovely park with locks and moorings. The town centre is only a few minutes walk away as well so it's easy to visit here.

Moorlands Farm Coarse Fisheries

Reviewed By Jrkfishing

I have been going to this venue for 12 month now. Always helpful, great food and the new owners are working very hard and doing a fabulous job in restoring the fishery to its former glory. It’s now my go to fishery in the area. I note a couple of negative comments on here but all I can say is that if you do something you shouldn’t be then what do you expect. The place is always clean and tidy and Grant the new owner is passionate about his fishery. He is always on hand to offer advice and encourages anglers of all ages. Plenty of fish to catch and great food at Nicola’s cafe. Beautiful surroundings and very safe in these difficult times. A friendly family run fishery !
