Bewdley East & Upper Arley sits in the Wyre Forest district of Worcestershire, along a bend of the River Severn. The eastern side of Bewdley contains the town’s main street, riverside quay and local services, with a mix of older timber-framed and brick buildings facing the water and small lanes leading off the high street. The riverside meadow is used for occasional events and provides mooring for day boats. Local facilities include a museum, shops and river operators, and road links to Kidderminster and nearby villages.

A short stretch downstream, Upper Arley occupies slopes and fields at the edge of the Severn valley. The Severn Valley Railway runs through the area, with trains calling at Bewdley and at Arley station, where the platform sits close to the river bank and steam services are a regular sight.
