Set in the heart of England between the Malvern Hills and the mellow Cotswolds, Worcestershire is the home of Worcester Porcelain, Worcestershire sauce, Morgan sports cars and Malvern Spring water. Stately homes and magnificent churches abound in and around famous spa towns.

Restaurants make good use of fresh vegetables, herbs and fruit in season, some grown in their own kitchen gardens or sought in The Vale of Evesham, known historically as England's market garden.
