Arboretum is an electoral ward in the city of Worcester, in Worcestershire, England. It sits close to the city centre and is primarily residential, with a mix of Victorian terraces, interwar and post‑war housing and some council estates, taking its name from nearby tree‑lined green spaces.
The ward benefits from good transport links into the centre, local shops, schools and active community groups, and is within easy reach of riverside walks along the River Severn. Historically connected to Worcester’s manufacturing and working‑class roots, it has seen modest regeneration in recent years and retains a varied social mix of long‑standing families and newer households.
