Hotels in Bewdley

Bewdley is a Georgian riverside town on the Severn in Worcestershire, its elegant terraces and old warehouses a reminder that this was once a busy inland port before the railways took the trade away. Today it's a day-trip and weekend destination, largely thanks to the Severn Valley Railway, whose steam trains terminate here, and to Wyre Forest and the West Midland Safari Park close by.

The river that made the town also plagues it: parts of Bewdley flood with tiresome regularity, and anyone booking near the water should check current conditions. This is a small, quiet town with a handful of pubs and tearooms rather than any real nightlife, and it suits a slow couple of days rather than a long stay.
