There is the West Midland Safari safari park and National sealife centre in Worcestershire too.

The Severn Valley Railway is a heritage railway in Shropshire and Worcestershire. The 16-mile (26 km) heritage line runs along the Severn Valley from Bridgenorth to Kidderminster, crossing the Shropshire/Worcestershire border, following the course of the River Severn for much of the time. So no need to be worried about what to do - book your holiday cottage and then spend time considering you holiday itinerary.
