Bewdley is a small riverside town and civil parish in the Wyre Forest District of Worcestershire, England, along the Severn Valley a few miles to the west of Kidderminster and 22 miles south west of Birmingham. Bewdley lies on the River Severn, at the gateway of the Wyre Forest national nature reserve.
Bewdley is a popular tourist destination and is well known for its attractive riverside, music scene, famous Bewdley Bridge designed by Thomas Telford, range of independent shops and high standard of educational provision at secondary school level. Bewdley is home to the Severn Valley Railway and the West Midlands Safari Park, both of which are sign posted on all motorways running through the Midlands.
The main part of Bewdley town is situated on the western bank of the River Severn, including the main street — Load Street — whose name derives from lode, an old word for ferry. Load Street is notable for its width: this is because it once also served as the town's market place. Most of Bewdley's shops and amenities are situated along Load Street, at the top of which lies St Anne's Church, built between 1745 and 1748 by Doctor Thomas Woodward of Chipping Campden.
On the other side of the church, Welch Gate (so called because it once contained a tollgate on the road towards Wales) climbs steeply up to the west, while a continuation of the B4194 leads northwest towards the Wyre Forest. To the northeast of the town is the wooded hilltop of Wassel Wood in Trimpley, the southern terminus of Shatterford Hill. In the area between Stourport and Bewdley there are several large country houses, among which Witley Court, Astley Hall and Pool House are particularly significant.
The River Severn often used to burst its banks in winter, flooding many houses and commercial premises in Bewdley. Bewdley Bridge over the Severn was built in 1798 by Thomas Telford. It was erected to replace the 1483 medieval bridge which was swept away in the floods of 1795. The Tenbury and Bewdley Railway branched off Severn Valley Railway at Bewdley, and ran through the Wyre Forest to Tenbury Wells. It crossed the river at Dowles, a little to the north of Bewdley. The bridge itself no longer exists, although its imposing brick and stone pillars remain.
The Bewdley Festival, featuring a variety of artistic performances, is held in the town each October, and Bewdley also hosts one of the largest inland river regattas in the country. The successful Bewdley Beer Festival is held each August Bank Holiday weekend. Bewdley also has a carnival which takes place every June. Bewdley has a distinguished music scene, and is particularly well known for its intimate country music venues and its many local festivals including Hop Fest, Bewdley music festival, Arley festival and Bewdley Live.
The West Midland Safari Park lies just out of the town, on the A456 towards Kidderminster. Bewdley was, until an office move in 2014 to Kidderminster, the headquarters of the Severn Valley Railway, a heritage railway running the 16 miles between Kidderminster and Bridgnorth. Bewdley remains the principal intermediate station on the line. The Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Gardens (usually abbreviated to simply Jubilee Gardens) are tucked away between the rear of Bewdley Museum and the River Severn.
Bewdley is on the southeastern edge the Wyre Forest, and there are many footpaths and cycle routes through the unspoilt woodlands. There is a visitor centre situated just outside Bewdley at Callow Hill on the road to Cleobury Mortimer, where many waymarked trails through the forest start from. The Bewdley museum (admission free), housed in the Guildhall (alongside the Tourist Information Centre) explores the history of the town. Just outside Bewdley is Beau Castle, a Victorian mock-Gothic house, built in 1877. It was developed by the industrialist and former Mayor of Birmingham and Bewdley, George Baker. Beau Castle was designed by John Ruskin and Richard Doubleday with stained-glass windows by Edward Burne-Jones.

Bewdley - Annual Charity Boxing Day Tractor Run 2019
The Annual Charity Boxing Day Tractor Run hosted by Far Forest Society in aid of Kidderminster and Worcestershire Prostate Support Group arrives in Load Street, Bewdley and parks in Severn Side. I only missed a few of the late comers. The tractor owners pay a fee to take part in the parade to raise money for charity and creating traffic jams is just a bonus.
SVR vintage weekend & Bewdley Museum
SVR - Arley & Bewdley - 01/05/16
We send our deepest apologies to those honorable subscribers, whom have remained in contact with this channel, despite our infrequent uploading system, across the previous seven weeks. Hopefully though, this channel (WVB Transport Media Productions™) will now further continue with a minimum of one video per week, on a regular basis rota, beginning with the Gloucester Warwickshire Railway's 'Cotswold's Festival of Steam next weekend.
This above video outlines the Severn Valley's timetable C services, at approximately mid-day on the 1st of May 2016. Situated at Arley, platform one, we capture the 1322 southbound service, arriving first. This service was hauled by the SVR's home fleet mixed freight steam locomotive 2857, GWR 28xx Class Church-ward 2-8-0. As well as this, arriving tender-first was the bullied Pacific 'Sir Kieth Park' Ex SR BR Battle of Britain class, 4-6-2 hauling the 1319 service into Arley. The video also supplements a final section of the 28xx departing Bewdley from platform one, on the 1341 departure. We send our deepest apologies as the weather upon the filming duration, was, well dramatic and pearl in sections, and the rain drops seemed magnetized to the UV-filter, discarding most of the image with water stains. We do hope that this does not act as a deterrent and that your online experience is not invalidated overall.
We hope you enjoy the footage.
