Bewdley & Rock

About

Bewdley & Rock ward encompasses the historic riverside town of Bewdley and the adjoining village of Rock, situated within the Wyre Forest district. The area is defined by the River Severn, which flows through its centre, and the surrounding woodland of the Wyre Forest. The ward includes residential neighbourhoods, local shops, and the preserved Georgian architecture of Bewdley's High Street. Its landscape transitions from the urban centre to more rural outskirts.

The ward's economy has historical roots in the river trade, evident in the surviving 18th-century warehouses and the town's museum. The Severn Valley Railway operates a heritage steam service from Bewdley station, a key feature of local tourism. Community life includes various clubs and societies, while the riverfront and forest provide extensive walking and cycling routes. The area maintains a distinct identity separate from the larger nearby towns.
