It's free to visit for all ages, making it a relaxed stop for history lovers and families alike. Located in Worcester, close to Worcester Foregate Street station just 0.4 miles away, it suits visitors looking to combine a museum visit with a wider stay, with 18 bookable places to stay within 5 miles on BritStays.
