Moving to or from Alcester? Let M&G Do the Heavy Lifting (Before the Roman Roads Confuse Your Sat Nav)

Welcome to Alcester — Warwickshire’s historic market town with Roman roots, Tudor timber frames, and a High Street that looks like it belongs on a postcard. With around 7,000 residents, Alcester blends heritage with modern convenience, sitting just a short hop from Stratford‑upon‑Avon and the Cotswolds.

Schools That Actually Impress

Alcester Grammar School is one of Warwickshire’s most sought‑after secondaries, while St Benedict’s and Alcester Academy add strong local options. Translation: your kids will get a solid education and you’ll get used to hearing about Shakespeare before they’ve even tackled Macbeth.

Economy With a Historic Edge

Alcester’s economy thrives on independents, pubs, and local services, with tourism playing a big role thanks to its Roman and Tudor heritage. Many residents commute to Stratford, Redditch, or Birmingham, but the town centre buzzes with markets, cafés, and boutiques.

Things to Do (Besides Pretending You’re in a Period Drama)

• Roman Museum – a nod to Alcester’s ancient past.

• Ragley Hall – stately home grandeur with gardens that make Instagram jealous.

• Local favourites – The Holly Bush Inn for a pint, countryside walks along the River Arrow, and Stratford‑upon‑Avon for theatre and riverside charm.
