Fort Royal

Fort Royal ward lies on the eastern edge of Worcester city centre, characterised by a mix of residential streets and significant green spaces. The area is dominated by the historic Worcester Racecourse, a large open ground used for events, which shapes much of the local geography. Housing primarily consists of Victorian and Edwardian terraces, alongside some more modern developments, catering to a range of residents from families to professionals.

The ward is notably home to the Worcester City Art Gallery and Museum, situated within a Victorian building in the heart of the area. Fort Royal Park, a steep hill offering panoramic views across the city rooftops to the cathedral, is a prominent local landmark with a history linked to the English Civil War. This elevated green space provides a distinct contrast to the urban layout of the surrounding streets.
