Discovering Britain

On the 13th of June 2025, we visited Worcester, a historic city in the West Midlands, for a day of exploration and culture. The trip began with a visit to Worcester Cathedral, an awe-inspiring structure with over a thousand years of history. Inside, the intricate stained-glass windows, the tomb of King John, and the serene cloisters offered a glimpse into England’s ecclesiastical heritage.

Next, we explored the Royal Worcester Museum, which celebrates the city’s renowned porcelain industry. The exhibits ranged from delicate 18th-century tea sets to striking contemporary ceramics. The museum’s interactive displays and knowledgeable staff added depth to the experience, highlighting the craftsmanship and innovation that defined Royal Worcester.

In the afternoon, we took a leisurely walk alongside the River Severn, enjoying the scenic path that winds past the cathedral and under historic bridges. .Overall, the trip was a delightful blend of history, art, and nature. Worcester’s charm lies in its well-preserved heritage and relaxed pace, making it an ideal destination for a culturally enriching day out.
