This small museum tells the story of the Worcestershire Yeomanry Cavalry, raised in 1794 during the Napoleonic Wars as a part-time cavalry unit for times of civil unrest or invasion. Exhibits trace its history through the First World War, when it served in Egypt near Alexandria, and its later conversion into an anti-tank regiment of the Royal Artillery ahead of the Second World War. It's a good stop for military history enthusiasts, housed within Worcester City Museum and Art Gallery on Foregate Street. Open Monday to Saturday, with Sundays closed, it sits right by Worcester Foregate Street station, and there are 15 bookable places to stay within 5 miles if you're planning a longer visit to Worcestershire.
