Bewdley
(Population 10,869 – 2001 Census)
Once described as “the most perfect small Georgian town in
Worcestershire”, situated on the banks of the River Severn and on
the edge of the Forest of Wyre, Bewdley offers much to delight the
visitor. A good choice of pubs, cafes and restaurants are to be
found around the riverside and central shopping area.
The 18th Century church of St Anne dominates the main street
with its many tiny shops, antiques and craft galleries. The old
Butchers Shambles now houses the town’s local museum and the
Tourist Information Centre.
