    The Armsby Abbey

    Grab a local craft beer at The Armsby Abbey pub. It is Worcester’s best bar and serves Hill Farmstead, a rare find. The taproom is open until 21:00 on weekdays and 22:00 on Saturdays, so you have plenty of time before sunset.

  2. 17:40

    Green Hill Park

    Walk 40 minutes northeast to Green Hill Park. This 480-acre park is the largest in the city and sits on a hill northeast of the downtown area. It offers an expansive, tree-free view that feels far removed from the city.

    Green Hill Park

    Watch the sun set toward the WSW. The golden light starts about 38 minutes before sunset, giving you time to settle in and find the perfect spot on the hill.

Local tip

The walk from The Armsby Abbey to Green Hill Park is a steady 40-minute trek. Wear comfortable shoes and bring a light layer as the temperature drops after sunset.
