Upton Heritage Centre is set within the oldest surviving building in the riverside town of Upton-upon-Severn, in the Malvern Hills area. Inside, displays trace the town's growth and development, including its role in the Civil War and the Battle of Upton Bridge, alongside exhibits on the river's origins, changing architecture, past lifestyles and local floods. A computer-based history kiosk lets you dig further into the area's past. It suits anyone curious about local heritage, and the nearby Tudor House Museum offers more of the same. For a stay nearby, there are 46 bookable places to stay within 5 miles on BritStays, with Great Malvern station 5.3 miles away.
