The almost all of Bewdley town is positioned on the western bank of the River Severn, consisting of the major road-- Load Street-- whose name stems from lode, an old word for ferry. Load Street is significant for its width: this is since it once likewise acted as the town's market area. The majority of Bewdley's shops and amenities are located along Load Street, on top of which exists St Anne's Church, developed between 1745 and also 1748 by Doctor Thomas Woodward of Chipping Campden. Past the church, High Street leads off to the south towards Stourport along the B4194, a roadway known in your area as "the switchback" as a result of its several undulations. Unlike in many English communities, High Street is so called not due to its importance, yet as a result of its geographical setting 'high' above the river. On the other side of the church, Welch Gate (so called since it when included a tollgate on the road towards Wales) climbs up steeply as much as the west, while Dowles Road, a continuation of the B4194 leads northwest to Dowles as well as towards the Wyre Forest. To the northeast of the community is the woody hill of Wassel Wood in Trimpley, the southern terminus of Shatterford Hill. In the location in between Stourport as well as Bewdley there are several large country houses, among which Witley Court, Astley Hall and Pool House are particularly substantial.
