You’ll find this lively Worcestershire town spread along the banks of the River Severn, a place where life truly revolves around the water.
It’s a fantastic spot to simply wander by the river, perhaps catching a boat trip when they're running, or just enjoying the view from one of the many benches. The town itself has a relaxed, friendly atmosphere, with a good mix of independent shops, cafes, and pubs to explore.
Throughout the year, Upton comes alive with its renowned festivals, particularly its popular jazz, blues, and folk events that draw visitors from far and wide, filling the streets with music and cheer. Keep an eye out for the distinctive "Pepperpot" church tower, a real landmark and a remnant of an older church. Historically, its position on the Severn made it an important river port, and it even played a minor role in the English Civil War.
For those looking to explore a little further, you’re very close to places like Ryall, Tunnel Hill, and The Grove at Ryall, offering more of the local countryside. Longdon Heath, Duckswich, and Holdfast are also nearby, giving you a real sense of being in the heart of Worcestershire's lovely landscape.
