Inspiration for a staycation in the Severn Valley

 

Spring is on its way at last and we have a brand new website to help you plan a day out or better still, a staycation in the beautiful Severn Valley. From Shrewsbury in Shropshire follow the beautiful River Severn southward through Worcestershire and discover somewhere new to see, visit, walk, cycle, fish, paddle, or float!   The Severn Valley offers a rich blend of outdoor adventures, industrial heritage and cultural richness, great places to stay eat and drink, plus top world class attractions. For inspiration, see our new website below. Visit Severn Valley website Wyre Forest Heritage Trail  Next time you visit Bewdley, Stourport or Kidderminster town centre, download our free Wyre Forest Heritage trail app on your smartphone and take a walk into the past!    The app will take you to GPS location checkpoints around the three towns. You will hear stories and see the lives of local characters who will appear in-situ on your device thanks to the latest augmented reality technology. ​ Find out more and download Great British Spring Clean Have you joined our movement for a cleaner, greener Wyre Forest? Our Adopt a Street team of volunteers is working with us to litter pick streets across the district. We will be taking part in the Great British Spring Clean, which runs from Friday 15 March until Sunday 31 March. The theme is ‘the environment belongs to everyone – protect it from #litterthatlastsalifetime.’ Litter picking is a simple action that anyone can do. It makes an immediate and visible difference to the environment where we live, work and play. Our rangers are running three litter picks on our reserves during the Spring Clean. Join in or find out how you can Adopt a Street or pledge to pick on our website.
