Rhydd Barn is situated close to the Malvern Hills – a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty - with common land to the east and 14 acres of meadow to the west. It is easily accessible by road. 'Rhydd' (we pronounce it 'ridd' although it is more properly pronounced 'reeth') is a welsh word meaning crossing. This was a place where there once was a boat crossing point over the River Severn. See Severn Fords and Ferries in Worcestershire. Also, see the photograph The old Severn Ferry Crossing at the Rhydd

The attractive village of Hanley Swan is 2 miles away with outstanding pub/restaurant The Swan. Barnard’s Green, a convenient local shopping area is only 4 miles down the road, including a butcher, greengrocer, fishmonger, baker, small supermarket and many other specialist shops.

The Three Counties’ Showground is 4 miles away. It hosts the Spring Garden Show, Agricultural Show, Antique Show and many others. A little further on is Malvern, its charm and character owing much to the beauty of the Hills rising behind and the Georgian and Victorian houses built as a result of the pure ‘spa water’ found there. Highlights include the attractive Malvern Priory, the Festival Theatre and, of course, the Malvern Hills themselves from which the views are breathtaking – on a clear day you can see 50 miles in any direction.

To the south east of Rhydd Barn is Upton-upon-Severn, a vibrant small town focused on the River Severn with Tudor and Georgian houses and shops. It is host to many festivals including a Folk Festival in May and a Water Festival on August Bank Holiday. There is a wonderful walk along banks of the Severn to beautiful water meadows.

The county town of Worcester is 10 miles to the north with its attractively situated cathedral overlooking the River Severn and the famous Royal Worcester porcelain works.

The Barn makes an ideal centre from which to pursue cultural and walking interests. This is the beautiful countryside which inspired many of Sir Edward Elgar’s compositions.
