Bewdley is a prominent tourist destination and is recognized for the Bewdley Bridge developed by Thomas Telford. The almost all of Bewdley community is situated on the western bank of the River Severn, including the primary road-- Load Street-- whose name stems from lode, an old word for ferryboat. Load Street is notable for its width: this is since it once additionally worked as the community's market area. Most of Bewdley's shops and also amenities are situated along Load Street, at the top of which lies St Anne's Church, constructed in between 1745 and 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 locally as "the switchback" due to its several undulations. Unlike in lots of English towns, High Street is so called not because of its significance, but due to its geographical setting 'high' above the river. On the other side of the church, Welch Gate (so called since it as soon as had a tollgate when driving towards Wales) climbs up outstanding up to the west, while Dowles Road, an extension of the B4194 leads northwest to Dowles and also in the direction of the Wyre Forest. To the northeast of the community is the wooded hilltop of Wassel Wood in Trimpley, the southerly terminus of Shatterford Hill. In the area between Stourport and Bewdley there are a number of huge country houses, amongst which Witley Court, Astley Hall as well as Pool Residence are particularly significant.
