Attractive transport links from historical Worcester
The city of Worcester, in the county of Worcestershire, is a West
Midlands city which is situated almost halfway between Birmingham
and Gloucester. It is located 30 miles south of the former and 29
miles north of the latter.
Worcester has a rich history, the most notable of which can be
epitomised by its cathedral, which was the site of the final battle
of the English Civil War, where Oliver Crowell's troops defeated
King Charles II's Cavaliers.
For people looking for
property for sale in Worcester, one of the most attractive
aspects of the city will be the ease from which they can access the
rest of the country. The city is located just to the west of the
M5, which can be accessed via Junction 6. From here, London is only
120 miles away, and easily reachable for those who have to go on
business trips.
Similarly, Birmingham and Gloucester are easily reachable by road,
leaving many commuters seeing Worcester as a viable option.
The city also has two railway stations, Worcester Foregate Street
and Worcester Shrub Hill, which both provide regular services to
both Birmingham and London via First Great Western, further
strengthening its position as an attractive city for commuters who
still want to work in the bigger cities.
Education wise, Worcester can also be an attractive option for
students. The city is home to one of the country's fastest rising
universities, the University of Worcester, which is continually
growing in terms of size of the student body, and the academic
reputation it holds.
And for older people who simply want to enjoy the culture and
scenery which the city of Worcester has to offer, there are a
number of historical sites, from the old Tudor buildings still
standing in the city, to the Georgian Worcester Royal Infirmary
building, which is expected to host a new medical museum in the
near future.
