Nearby Stourbridge, famous for its glass making, has many lovely parks while Bewdley, once described as 'the most perfect Geogian town in Worcestershire', sits on the banks of the River Severn, close the medieval Wyre Forest with its many walks and cycle routes, and offers a good choice of pubs and cafes along the riverside as well as many tiny shops, antique and art galleries.
