They are places you may not even think about until you need them, but Worcestershire actually has a number of public toilets.

Across the county these include award-winning loos and even one claimed to be among the worst in the country, although we’re not sure we agree.

Here’s our list of the places you can spend a penny in the county, although not all of them are free so you may have to spend, erm, more than a penny.
