Quick answers

Questions people ask

What is the most walkable town in Worcestershire?

Tenbury Wells ranks first on walkability among 22 towns, with an A: better than 88% of UK towns. Worcester and Broadway follow.

How are these towns ranked?

The Walkability Grade: the share of commuters who walked, cycled or took public transport to work at the 2021 Census (taken in lockdown). The letter and rank are the same as on each town’s page. How grades work.

Why isn’t my town on this list?

Garrison towns and university campuses aren’t ranked, and towns without the figures this grade needs are counted above. The list covers Worcestershire’s towns of 2,500+ with the figure. Smaller places show it on their own pages; every town in Worcestershire is on the county page.
