The people in Worcestershire speak a dialect that is distinct from elsewhere in England. In addition, the towns of Redditch and Kidderminster have their own unique accent affected by influences from the Black Country accent.
Landlocked on the western part of England, Worcestershire is within a rural part of the country. The area is composed of volcanic igneous rock and metamorphic rock, particularly on Malvern Hills. Agriculture is the main occupation of the area, primarily fruit farming and the cultivation of hops.
The cathedral city of Worcester is the biggest settlement and administrative seat of the county. There are a number of smaller towns, mainly market towns such as Malvern, Bewdley and Tenbury Wells.
Visiting Worcestershire
There are coach services from London Heathrow to Worcester on National Express Coach. The journey takes about 2 hours.

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
