UK Travel: Bewdley

For many the UK offers barely more than two visions for a retreat: The bustling cities, where one barely has time to take in a sight before being simultaneously swept along by the crowd and hit in the head with a selfie stick; or the breathtaking beauty of an isolated cottage entirely in the middle of nowhere.

Bewdley, near Kidderminster, is a very happy medium:  a small town in the middle of a rapidly developing and expanding little island that maintains its character and authenticity;  its Britishness. The false, shiny "touristic" veneer that has been liberally applied to many coastward towns has not settled here.  Long may it stay that way.  As such Bewdley is a place for historic architecture, nature, charming cafés, rustic country pubs, great food, dog walking, Fish & Chips, feeding ducks and mingling with the locals...the links below offer a few tips from places I have stumbled across that are well worth a visit:
