Local area
The area around Severn Stoke village is noted for its excellent walks including the Severn Way. There is easy access to the Malvern Hills and nearby is the National Trust's Croome Landscape Park and Croome Court.

There are numerous music festivals in the area for both classical and jazz enthusiasts. Agricultural and horticultural shows at the Three Counties Showground, monthly antiques fairs and various rallies provide entertainment for visitors.

The Studio is easy to find being located not far from the main Worcester/Tewkesbury Road.

The historic city of Worcester is only seven miles away and places of interest include the  Commandery, the Worcester Porcelain Museum and the Cathedral.

A relatively small Worcestershire city with big appeal, Worcester is famous for many things, such as its porcelain china, its cricket, its relaxing canal trips, and the original Worcestershire sauce - Lea and Perrins. Interestingly, the city is also home to the oldest newspaper in the world - the Berrow's Journal of 1690.

Worcester is a very traditional English tourist destination, being full of historic buildings and surrounded by rolling countryside, stately homes and landscaped gardens. Close by Worcester are two major tourist attractions that really do add to the overall summer tourism appeal. The nearby West Midlands Safari Park is full not only of exotic animals, but also exciting roller coasters and fast rides. Also just a short distance away is Witley Court and Gardens, a palatial Grade-I listed manor house with incredible fountains, managed by the English Heritage and now in ruins, following a devastating fire many decades ago. Details about these attractions and more are readily available at the Worcester Tourist Information Centre, which is housed in the historic Guildhall, on the High Street, in the Lychgate area.

The Malvern Hills have been described as a mountain range in miniature, the eight mile ridge containing some of the oldest rocks in Britain, their craggy outline giving the impression of uplands further west. They were good enough for Mallory to come and walk in preparation for Everest whilst staying with colleagues at Malvern College. Today you can enjoy over 4500 acres of open countryside climbing to the highest point at Worcestershire Beacon or enjoying the quiet ramblings along the wooded slopes.

The Hills and commons are very popular with walkers. The Malvern Hills Act 1884 gave the land under the jurisdiction of the Malvern Hills Conservators as open access on foot for all time. The only time the Hills were closed was in the foot and mouth outbreak in 2002. Because you can walk anywhere there are not the usual regiment of signs and waymarks. The Victorians gave us many of the constructed paths that make walking the Malvern Hills such a delight.
