Upton Snodsbury is an ancient village founded by the Saxons in the seventh century, six miles East of the bustling city of Worcester. Renowned as being ‘a jewel in Worcestershire’, with most houses being Grade II listed and Victorian style, which are dotted in a Conservation Area around the church. The village has much to offer for the tourist, with historic churches and buildings offering a glimpse into the area’s rich past, and mediaeval fields with footpaths that cross the area and through to Bow Wood. This remnant of the ancient Feckenham Forest blankets much of Castle Hill, an Iron Age fort, and is recognised as a Site of Special Scientific Interest. Visit the independent village shop, serving locally supplied products, a characterful pub with a beer garden offering delicious local cuisine, as well as local markets to grab a keepsake. This village boasts a peaceful setting amidst a friendly community. Further afield is the city of Worcester, where you can marvel around the ancient Cathedral, the Tudor House Museum, and hike the picturesque Malvern Hills. Or the bustling town of Stratford-upon-Avon, the birthplace of William Shakespeare. Many National Trust buildings are also in reach such as Croome Court and Gardens, Coughton Court, and Hanbury Hall.
