Fort Royal Park is a small but pleasant public park, mainly on the top of a hill, which is fairly near the centre of Worcester. It is probably one of the lesser known of the city's open spaces, and currently it is not particularly well signposted. It has some nice walks, trees, seats and flower beds, as well as a play area for children. Perhaps its best feature is that its height gives it some excellent views across Worcester and particularly to the Cathedral. It was the site of a Royalist fort in the Civil War of the mid-17th century, but there is very little to see from that time. Worcester was sympathetic to the Royalist cause but the Battle of Worcester, on the 3rd September 1651, the last of the Civil War, was lost by the Royalists.
