| Welcome to Upton upon Severn! Upton is a small town on the banks of the River Severn in beautiful
South Worcestershire. Upton boasts a Marina and is also
easy to reach by road and by bus from
nearby larger towns and cities. Small Upton might be, but it is a hive of activity and hosts a number of major festivals each year which attract people form overseas as well as all corners of the UK. A friendly town with a wealth of places to eat, drink and sleep despite its relatively small size, and businesses serving most of the needs of locals and visitors alike without the need to venture further a field. Visitors will have no problem finding plenty of things to see and do within easy reach of Upton. Upton is not short of history either. The Battle of Upton in 1651 during the Civil War saw 12000 men cross the river here - then the location of the only bridge across the Severn between Worcester and Gloucester. In more recent times Upton manages to keep out of the news most
of the time - except when the Severn floods of course, when TV
cameras are guaranteed to appear! |
