1 / 6Bienvenue dans le quartier
Worcester's centre runs north to south along the High Street and Foregate Street. At the southern end the cathedral rises above the River Severn, with the Old Palace beside it. The Commandery, the Royalist headquarters in the Civil War, and Fort Royal Park, on the site of a Civil War fort, are just to the east, and the Museum of Royal Worcester is on Severn Street.
Friar Street has the timber-framed Greyfriars, built around 1485. The Guildhall is on the High Street, the Glover's Needle spire stands near the cathedral, and the Hive library is on the north-west edge of the centre. New Road cricket ground lies across the river from the cathedral.
