Driving around the UK - Worcester

So now we have travelled from London to Cambridge, we then went to Norwich before stopping in Nottingham en route to Liverpool. I hope that your trip has gone better than mine did at the same stage, leaving Liverpool my trusty Vauxhall decided that it had had enough. Luckily though one phone call to my car insurance provider and one extra day in Liverpool (it could’ve been so much worse) later and I was back on the road.

We’re heading south now towards Worcester and the scenery couldn’t be more beautiful, so be sure to have your camera at the ready! When you arrive in Worcester you will (if you haven’t been before) be a little surprised at how pretty the town itself is. So put down your bags and go for a nice stroll through town on your way to dinner. But where should you have dinner? Here are some options.

The Old Rectifying House is right in the centre of town and is a firm favourite amongst tourists and locals alike with great traditional fare and a good selection of beers and ales it will leave you satisfied. And should you feel like a big, juicy steak then head over to Cactus Pete's Steak House who have built a reputation for delivering great quality steak every time – a real must for meat lovers.

From Worcester we’ll be travelling down to Bristol to tour the surroundings and there are some very impressive attractions not to be missed, so remember to read the next chapter in the series. By the time we get to Bristol, work and car insurance premiums will be so far from your mind that you won’t even realise that we’re almost turning back home!
