Black Boy Wyre Hill

The Black Boy Pub, 50 Wyre Hill Bewdley. The oldest pub in Bewdley which has been dated to around 1462. We have 2 bars, a games room and a large beer garden at the rear. We have 4 local real ales, 2 lagers, 2 ciders and Guinness on tap plus a range of bottled beers. There is also a range of fine wines and a selection of gins.

The Black Boy Wyre Hill is exactly how a pub should be-a stunning historic and cosy building with lovely beer garden with far reaching views across the Severn valley. There is a real sense of community about the place too-we recently trudged down there during a snowstorm and seeing all the others who had braved the elements to warm up with a drink around a log fire was wonderful. I believe it has recently changed hands and the new owners seem keen to retain the classic, traditional pub feel which the town sorely needs, especially now we have a, ahem, **well known pub chain*** in the town. There is always great music setting the mood and a fine selection of beers, ales, spirits (there's a menu just for the G&Ts!) and bar snacks. Seriously, try one of the pork pies with mustard and a pint of Ludlow Gold! Regular darts nights, quiz nights and many other social events reinforce the vibrant community feel that so many pubs seem to lack nowadays. It's dog friendly too and is surely set to become 'the' pub in Bewdley-to my mind it already is.

Found this museum on TripAdvisor as was visiting Bewdley, really enjoyed this museum, Free entry, lots to read and learn about, talks by the staff about the air raid shelter used in WW2, art gallery, cafe, small workshops, lovely gardens to walk around or sit on a bench and soak up some sun rays, well worth a visit.

Went to the Wyre Forest today with family members including my one year old granddaughter. Have been to the forest before but not for a while. Due to the current Covid situation parking machines and tea or coffee are only card payments. The toilets are open but not the visitor centre. We walked the yellow route to find the Gruffalo which was an easy trail. The actual Gruffalo trail is not there at the moment but the Gruffalo himself is there. We then walked the green route which was ok with a pushchair but there is an incline on the way back. Lovely few hours spent in the forest.

Wyre Forest is always a beautiful place to walk in but this is a little historical hidden gem in such a pretty spot. Just be thankful working conditions have improved somewhat since the mill was in use.

Trimpley Reservoir.

Reviewed By LauraDaveJames - Solihull, United Kingdom

There are several free carparks around Eymore Wood, the one by the water treatment plant is closest to the reservoir. The path to the reservoir is next to the water treatment plant and goes through a wood with a pedestrian crossing over the Severn Valley railway line. It is set in a beautiful wooded valley with a large and small reservoir and borders the River Severn. We very much enjoyed a quiet and peaceful walk.

Hopley's is a family-run business farm shop situated just outside Bewdley town centre in Worcestershire. Owned and run by real foodies, they got everything from fresh fruit and vegetables to Scandinavian inspired homewares. Home made cakes and hot drinks served in front of the wood burner, or glass of wine and beers...the choice is yours.
