Bluebell Farm

Follow an hour or two among the shops and old buildings on Upton Upon Severn with a pub or restaurant lunch before a further wander along the river and the surrounding village meadows. There are also boat rides at different times to Tewkesbury in Worcester: once there take a look at the town's medieval streets and 12th-century Tewkesbury Abbey (rather fab). National Trust properties, Capability Brown gardens and historic houses are plentiful in the region too, like Croome Park, Worcester Cathedral and the Great Malvern Priory. For walks and bike rides, take to the Malvern Hills as well as the many lanes and cycle routes locally, while if you fancy a showy activity or an event, the Three Counties Showground runs stuff regularly throughout the year.
