Upton upon Severn is a small, riverside market town in south Worcestershire, positioned about ten miles downstream from Worcester and easily reached via the M5 and M50. Its skyline is dominated by 'The Pepperpot' - the distinctive cupola-topped tower of the original 13th-century church - while the terracotta-coloured bridge provides the only crossing over the Severn for several miles. The town feels defined by the river; it has a long history as a busy port, and today it remains a hub for river traffic, with a large marina at the southern end. Because of its geography, the town has developed significant flood defences over the years to manage the Severn’s seasonal rise. Life here centers around the triangular High Street and the riverside quays, where a mix of independent shops and long-standing pubs serve both the local population and the crowds that arrive for the town’s established jazz, folk, and blues festivals. It is a practical, self-contained place that retains the layout of a medieval settlement, set against the backdrop of the Malvern Hills to the west.
