With the evenings getting lighter and the weather warmer, what could be better than escaping the humdrum of everyday life and venturing off on a spring staycation?<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re looking to swap traffic for tranquility, Worcestershire is home to beautiful countryside, charming historic market towns and plenty of fun activities.<\/p>\n

From Go Ape to Mini Golf, historic sightseeing to ancient woodland walks, if you\u2019re ready to be inspired for your next escape, discover our top things to do in Worcestershire\u2026<\/p>\n

1. Dust off your walking boots for a scenic stroll in Chaddesley Woods<\/strong><\/h4>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

For undisturbed beauty, head to the second largest woodland in Worcestershire, Chaddesley Woods National Nature Reserve.<\/a> Dating back to at least the 13th century, parts of the area are said to have been woodland since the Ice Age!<\/p>\n

Walk under the canopy of mighty trees and feel the dappled sunlight on your face during a peaceful stroll. While you\u2019re on your walk, keep a lookout in the leaves for a Worcestershire speciality and national rarity, the insect Land Caddis, which is the only caddisfly to live its entire life on land.<\/p>\n

Moving from ancient woodland to a park recognised for its commitments to forestry, why not head for a walk around the 16 hectares of Springfield Park<\/a> in Broadwaters. Perfect for families, with a children\u2019s play and activities area, ornamental pool and open spaces ideal for outdoor games, it makes a lovely place for families to while away an afternoon.<\/p>\n

2. Pack the camera for a spot of sightseeing at Worcester Cathedral<\/strong><\/h4>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

For culture vultures, why not venture out on your next staycation to discover the historic sights of Worcestershire?<\/p>\n

Worcester Cathedral<\/a>, rising majestically above the River Severn, has been described as one of the most interesting of all England\u2019s cathedrals for its architecture and history. The cathedral was built between 1084 and 1504 featuring magnificent Victorian stained glass and is home to the tomb of King John, Prince Arthur\u2019s Chantry St Wulfstan\u2019s Crypt and the early 12th century round chapter house. The Cathedral is currently open for private prayer and reflection Monday-Saturday between 11am-1pm, with the shop, cafe and tower planned to reopen later in the year.<\/p>\n

Why not continue your sightseeing with a visit to the beautiful riverside market town of Bewdley for a wander around their eclectic museum<\/a>? Explore an extensive collection of paintings, drawings and even a herbarium, where you\u2019ll find a selection of plant specimens dating back to the 19th century. The Shambles and Herb Garden are currently open to explore, as well as the gift shop and cafe, with all indoor areas reopening on Monday 17th May.<\/p>\n

3. Get the family together for a fun-filled adventure at West Midlands Safari Park<\/strong><\/h4>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Keep the whole family entertained on a visit to the West Midlands Safari & Leisure Park<\/a>. From visiting the friendly penguin cove to enjoying a ride in the adventure theme park<\/a>, and of course experiencing the safari drive-through<\/a>, there\u2019s plenty to explore together.<\/p>\n

If you prefer the high life, test your nerve at Go Ape Wyre<\/a>. Known as the Valley of Giants, work your way around the forest\u2019s enormous Douglas fir trees in the treetop challenges and adventures.<\/p>\n

For a fun activity that\u2019s based firmly on the ground, head to the Mini Pro Golf Park<\/a> to see who can get the lowest score on the 18-hole course. All equipment is provided meaning you can just turn up and play, with themed feature holes including Crocodile Alley and The Magic Wizard.<\/p>\n
