Welcome to Worcestershire!
Worcestershire is a county in the West Midlands in England. It is best known for the Malvern Hills and the cathedral city of Worcester. It is also the starting point of the Severn Valley Railway.
Worcestershire (abbreviation: Worcs) is a county in the West Midlands of England.
The area that is now Worcestershire was absorbed into the unified Kingdom of England in 927, at which time it was constituted as a county (see History of Worcestershire). Over the centuries the county borders have been modified, but it was not until 1844 that substantial changes were made. This culminated with the abolition of Worcestershire in 1974 with its northern area becoming part of the West Midlands and the rest part of the county of Hereford and Worcester. However, in 1998 the county of Hereford and Worcester was abolished and Worcestershire was reconstituted without the northern area, which was ceded to the West Midlands.
