Prettiest places to live in Worcestershire

A recent new list from The Telegraph listed Dodford with Grafton as one of the UK’s poshest villages and it was the only one in Worcestershire to feature.

It was described as “well to do” and the newspaper added that the average house price in the village is £599,216.

However, our readers named Malvern as the prettiest place to live in Worcestershire.

While there were plenty of places mentioned, one stuck out with the most number of votes and that was Malvern with Malvern Wells, Malvern Hills and Castlemorton also featuring in the comment section.

Mentioned on our Facebook post more than 10 times, the area has proved popular among our readers with one sharing a sunset picture with the caption: “Malvern Wells” and a red heart emoji.

Another said: “Malvern 100% x”.

One person explained why Hallow got their vote: “I love Hallow as I look across to the fields towards the Teme Valley which has to be the most beautiful valley in the country”.

Another shared a picture, writing: “Friar Street is beautiful! Worcester Cathedral also has so many stunning scenes”.

Inkberrow, Ombersley and Pershore plus many other areas in Worcestershire also received votes from our readers.
