Where to stay in Diglis
Each area has its own feel; here's who each one suits.
The centre is a walk away. Diglis lies half a mile south of central Worcester along the River Severn, close enough that a room here keeps the Museum of Royal Worcester and The Commandery within an easy stroll. Most beds sit in Worcester proper.
Huntingdon Hall, King Charles House and the older streets around them mark where the room supply actually is, and the riverside side of the area trades that supply for water and quiet.

About Diglis
What are the main landmarks in Diglis?
The Museum of Royal Worcester and The Commandery are the two names most visitors come for, and both stand within the short walk that separates Diglis from the middle of Worcester. Huntingdon Hall is listed nearby. The registers around here run long: St George's Church, St Swithun's Church, the Church of St Helen and the Church of St Martin all carry entries, alongside King Charles House, Queen Elizabeth House, Tudor House Museum and Edgar Tower.
The Pheasant and Tower House round out the roll.
What is the history of Diglis?
Diglis carries no date of its own. The dated fabric belongs to the Worcester around it: The Commandery, Edgar Tower, King Charles House and the Church of St Martin are the buildings the registers describe, and Diglis reads as the riverside edge of that older city. The Museum of Royal Worcester carries the name.
Tudor House Museum and Queen Elizabeth House hold the domestic record, while St Swithun's Church and the Church of St Helen anchor the ecclesiastical one.
Where is Diglis?
Diglis occupies the Worcester bank of the River Severn half a mile south of the centre, an inner-city stretch of Worcestershire rather than an outlying one.
