Pershore is just 10 miles from Worcester – and it has an hourly train service back, so you only have to go one way.

The route is signposted as National Cycle Network route 442, so wayfinding is easy. Start on the riverside by the cathedral, and follow the signs onto quiet roads before you reach Diglis. The route leaves Worcester on the Norton Pedway, before switching to country lanes for the rest of the journey to Pershore. There are a few climbs but nothing too strenuous.

Pershore is a charming market town, all the better for its 20mph limit and new bypass. The station is around a mile to the north (well signposted), so leave enough time to get there. Alternatively, you can follow NCN 442 for another nine miles to Evesham, again with a station to take you back home.
