Bewdley

Bewdley is a town that extends along the western bank of the River Severn, characterized by numerous buildings from the 18th century. A notable bridge designed by Thomas Telford crosses the river through the center, connecting different parts of the settlement.

The settlement began as a medieval port and grew into a major trading center during the 18th century. River commerce connected it with distant places like Bristol, bringing prosperity and growth to the area.

The museum in a former butchers building displays traditional crafts from the area. The well-tended gardens with fruit trees reflect how the community values its heritage and local traditions.

The information center is located at the museum and provides daily guidance on accommodation, restaurants, and activities in the region. Walking through the town center helps you find services, and being near a forest makes visiting pleasant throughout the year.

The town sits at the edge of Wyre Forest, a large ancient woodland with numerous trails and paths for walking. Visitors can explore this forest directly from town and encounter old trees and wild spaces firsthand.
