Upton upon Severn is the small riverside town on the Severn below the Malvern Hills, known for the Pepperpot tower, its marina and its summer music festivals. The town has no railway station, so most journeys in and out are made by road. We take pre-booked journeys across Upton and its villages, and towards Malvern, Tewkesbury and Worcester.
Upton has no station and no rank, so every journey here starts with a booking. Drivers covering the town hold Enhanced DBS checks, and the accessible vehicle is available for Upton journeys, with wheelchair users and assistance dogs carried at no extra charge.
By booking the road journey, because the railway passes Upton by. The nearest stations are Malvern Link and Great Malvern to the west and Worcestershire Parkway beyond Worcester, and we collect from all of them by arrangement. Give us the train time when you ask for a quote and the car will meet it, then run you down the A4104 into town.
Within Upton itself, the marina, the Pepperpot heritage centre in the old church tower and the pubs along Waterside are all short hops. The river is the town's blessing and its hazard: when the Severn floods, routes change, and a booked driver who knows the back roads through Welland and Hanley Castle earns their keep.
They change the crowds, not the method. Upton's folk festival in spring and the jazz and blues festivals through the summer fill the town, and the Sunshine Festival takes over Fish Meadow on the August bank holiday. On those weekends the sensible move is to book earlier than usual, because every visitor has the same idea at the same time.
Residents feel it too: guests arriving, family visiting, lifts to and from the festival fields. A pre-booked car with an agreed pick-up point on the edge of the crowds beats trying to find one in the middle of them, and returns late in the evening can be arranged at the same time.
Upton looks two ways. Towards the hills, taxi and private hire in Malvern covers the neighbouring town and its stations, while runs down the vale towards the county city are set out on the page for Worcester taxi and private hire. Most Upton bookings are simpler than either: a home address, a destination, and a time that suits you.
