  • On the banks of the River Severn, two miles from Worcester city centre
  • Close to the M5, 15 minutes' drive from the Malvern Hills
  • Fishing on site; riverside walk from site to city centre
City strolls or countryside wanders – which one might you fancy while on your Worcestershire break? If the answer is ‘a bit of both, actually’ then you’ll likely find Ketch Caravan Park a most convenient spot indeed. This peaceful and family-friendly park with spacious pitches is on the banks of the River Severn, around two miles from Worcester city centre. A riverside footpath runs from the site to the city’s shops and attractions; alternatively you can drive it in five minutes or so. As well as providing pleasant strolls into town, the river also supplies a pretty backdrop for the site, with the Malvern Hills visible in the distance (another good place for lovely long stroll, of course). Guests can go fishing in the river directly from the site too. Getting in, out and around to local attractions is very straightforward from here: the park is handily placed close to the A4440 and only a few minutes’ drive from the M5. That makes it both a nifty stopover point on a longer motorway journey and a good place to settle for rural rambles (with a dog, if you’ve got one you’d like to bring along on holiday) and days out visiting the likes of Tewkesbury, Snowshill Manor and Evesham. Barbecues are allowed on site, and there’s a rather handy supermarket just outside the site for supplies if you don’t fancy the trip to town for dinner. As for the site’s own facilities, they include a modern amenities block with showers and toilets including a family room and wet room, a laundry room and a washing-up area. There is also a chemical disposal point on site.

What customers say

This riverside campground has level sites with great views, close to Worcester. Facilities are clean and updated, though some found the washrooms a bit of a walk. Handy for local shops and pubs. Ongoing renovations have guests eager for a return visit.

Liked The site looked like it had just had a revamp.
Pitches were a good size, facing the river.
There was a laundry and washing up area.
Good security, gate codes, which were changed whilst we were there. We were contacted by reception and asked to update code.
Clean facilities.
Level pitches.
Location, there are two pubs an Aldi and BM within walking distance. It is also just a couple of minutes off the motorway.

Disliked The lower tier which was for the camping, caravans and motorhomes was a long way from the main toilet shower block. The stairs were at the end of each side, which was a long way from where we were parked and some people would have had to walk further than we did. Maybe more steps along the bank?
Steps were very dark, however there were lights along them, which were on during the day, but not at night. Perhaps a timer change would rectify this.
Shower cubicles where small, which wouldn't have been such a problem if it wasn't a fixed headed shower. Maybe change the fixed heads for removable. It would have also been good to have a chair hooked onto the hooks on the back of the shower doors, to sit on when getting dried.

Local attractions

Presumably you’ll want to start in Worcester – and that’s a good choice, whether you amble along the riverbank or take the five-minute drive. Once you’re in the city centre, stop by at the cathedral and the Tudor House Museum for a sense of the area’s history and admire the pretty pieces on display at the Museum of Royal Worcester. There’s more history to be explored at places like the Avoncroft Museum of Historic Buildings (20 minutes’ drive), where you can see a collection of restored and rebuilt buildings of various kinds, and the smart Eastnor Castle (half an hour) and Snowshill Manor and Gardens (40 minutes). Meanwhile, music buffs can follow the Elgar Route to take in some of the scenery that inspired the composer and see some of the places where he lived and worked. For some outdoor time, explore the grounds of Spetchley Park Gardens (five minutes), which has been in the same family for over 400 years, or head to the highest point in the Malvern Hills at Worcestershire Beacon (20 minutes).
