The peaceful riverside setting and the beautiful mix of unspoilt buildings make Bewdley a piece of living history.
Dominated by St Anne’s church and Thomas Telford’s bridge, Bewdley is a pretty and peaceful Georgian town, much as it was in the 18th Century. In Bewdley there is an award winning museum with daily demonstrations of traditional crafts and special exhibitions.
For a fun filled family day out visit the nearby West Midland Safari and Leisure Park. Drive around in the comfort of your own car or go on a guided safari bus, don’t miss the rare white tigers and white lions. The Safari park has also added Cheetahs to its collection of African wild animals.
Nearby is the Wyre Forest, one of the largest surviving areas of ancient semi natural woodland left in Great Britain. The Forest has an attractive visitor centre, forest walks and an all ability trail.
Alternatively you can sit back and relax on the Severn Valley Railway, let the train take the strain as you embark on a 16 mile journey in steam-hauled splendour between Kidderminster and Bridgnorth with superb views of the River Severn en route.
