Alcester is a market town in south west Warwickshire, England with a population of around 9000.
The town is situated in a quiet and beautiful part of rural Warwickshire. However it is surprisingly close to the national motorway network, with the M5, M40, M42 and M6 all under half an hour away. Nearby towns and cities include Stratford-upon-Avon, Warwick, Worcester, Birmingham and Redditch.
The original settlement dates back at least to Roman times and there are many archaeological sites of interest in the town and surrounding area. The high street is reminiscent of by gone era and preserved Tudor cottages and other historical buildings are dotted throughout.
Today Alcester is a thriving rural market town with lots to offer its residents and the many visitors we have throughout the year.
