The cathedral city of Worcester has a population of over 100,000 and stands astride the River Severn. The city attracts visitors throughout the year with tourists visiting this mediaeval city which is also renowned for its cathedral. It is the county town of Worcestershire and has a vibrant commercial centre with many shops and businesses located there. Worcester serves a much wider community with the towns of Stourport on Severn, Kidderminster, Bewdley, Evesham, Bromsgrove and Pershore all within easy motoring distance. It also stands alongside the M5 motorway from which it has access to two junctions and is therefore also popular with those commuting to the Midlands conurbation.
