Malvern Hills primary schools have been learning about the history of Upton on visits to the town's tourism information centre (TIC).

Upton Primary School's year three class and St Matthias Primary School's year five class have stopped by, receiving a presentation from TIC officer, Susannah Massey.

The talk was about Upton's past and the renowned 'Pepperpot' tower.

Upton Primary School's talk discussed the region's human and physical attributes, and assessed how the area could be promoted as a tourist spot.

St Matthias' visit focused on the topic of geography, combining it with a trip to Clive's Fruit Farm and a tour of the town.

The school plans to create promotional leaflets for display in the Pepperpot.

Ms Massey said: "It was lovely to welcome the two schools to the Tourist Information Centre and Pepperpot and the children were beautifully behaved and attentive.

"We look forward to welcoming the schools back for future visits."
