Upton-upon-Severn is nestled comfortably between the Malvern Hills and Cotswolds in a natural beauty hotspot.

The village is a popular attraction thanks to its musical scene, with the folk festival, jazz festival, blues festival and Sunshine festival held throughout the summer.

5. Pershore

Despite officially being a town, the charm and atmosphere of Pershore lends itself much closer to a village.

Made famous for the plum that was discovered in the nearby Tiddesley Wood, Pershore now holds an annual festival dedicated to the fruit.

4. Ombersley

Ombersley is the poster child for a traditional village, packed with independent shops and businesses.

Muddy Stilettos praised the village's 'quintessentially English' feel while also being only a stone's throw from the much larger city of Worcester.

3. Bewdley

Sandwiched between the Wyre Forest and Kidderminster, Bewdley is the perfect blend of the county's two contrasting sides.

The town is also home to one of the most popular attractions in Worcestershire: West Midlands Safari Park.

Few towns come with their own national landscape like the hills Malvern is built upon.

Despite being the largest place on the list, with a population of over 30,000 Malvern manages to capture a village feel while offering plenty in the way of activities.

1. Broadway

Recently named one of the most picturesque places in the UK, it is unsurprising to see Broadway at the top of this list.

The village has been nicknamed 'the Jewel of the Cotswolds' thanks to its honey-coloured houses and pristine décor.

As a result, it's no surprise that Broadway boasts an average house price of £707,518 over the last year.
