Area Guide

Hallow

The village of Hallow is positioned around two miles northwest of Worcester, a stone’s throw from the River Severn. With a population of around 1,900 this is a great choice for people wanting the best of both worlds: beautiful walks from the front door, but with the convenience of a city nearby. Bus services are available into both Worcester and Kidderminster (15 miles) several times a day.

Local Amenities

Hallow offers a surprising number of local amenities for a small village. There is a well-regarded primary school, village shop, Post Office, parish hall and pub, as well as the beautiful church of St. Philip and St. James. Nearby Worcester offers numerous restaurants, shops and entertainment venues.

There is an equestrian centre within the village offering riding lessons, stabling and local countryside hacks.
