Exploring Worcester
The route begins at the city side of the road bridge, but you can pick it up anywhere depending on where you have parked. Turn left, passing The Old Rectifying House. Turn right after the Severn View Hotel, then left, in front of the bus station, following the road round to traffic lights at Café de Colombia. Turn left along Farrier Street, right into Castle Street, reaching the northern extremity of the route at its junction with Foregate Street.
Go right along Foregate Street, passing the Shire Hall and the Worcester City Art Gallery & Museum. Continue along The Cross and into the pedestrianised area called High Street. Virtually opposite the Guildhall, turn left into Pump Street. (Elgar’s statue stands close to his father’s piano shop, at the southern end of High Street.) Turn left again, into The Shambles. Opposite St Swithun’s Church turn right into Mealcheapen Street. Another right turn and you’re in New Street (which later becomes Friar Street).
