Bewdley is a little riverside town as well as civil church in the Wyre Forest District of Worcestershire on the Shropshire border in England, along the Severn Valley 3 miles (4.8 km) west of Kidderminster as well as 22 miles (35 kilometres) southwest of Birmingham. [1] It lies on the River Severn, at the entrance of the Wyre Forest national nature reserve, as well as at the time of the 2011 census had a population of 9,470. Bewdley is a preferred vacationer location as well as is known for the Bewdley Bridge designed by Thomas Telford. The almost all of Bewdley town is located on the western bank of the River Severn, consisting of the major street-- Load Street-- whose name derives from lode, an old word for ferryboat. Load Street is noteworthy for its size: this is due to the fact that it once also worked as the town's market place. The majority of Bewdley's shops as well as amenities are positioned along Load Street, on top of which exists St Anne's Church, constructed in between 1745 and 1748 by Doctor Thomas Woodward of Chipping Campden. Beyond the church, High Street leads off to the south in the direction of Stourport along the B4194, a roadway recognized locally as "the switchback" due to its numerous undulations. Unlike in several English communities, High Street is so called not because of its importance, but due to its geographical position 'high' above the river. Beyond of the church, Welch Gate (so called due to the fact that it once consisted of a tollgate when driving in the direction of Wales) climbs outstanding approximately the west, while Dowles Road, an extension of the B4194 leads northwest to Dowles and also towards the Wyre Forest. To the northeast of the town is the wooded hill of Wassel Wood in Trimpley, the southerly terminus of Shatterford Hill. In the area in between Stourport and also Bewdley there are several large country houses, among which Witley Court, Astley Hall and also Pool Home are particularly substantial.
