Station Severn Valley Railway, Hollybush Rd, Bridgnorth WV16 5DP
From the platform and footbridge, you can enjoy a wonderful and exciting view of the locomotive works, where you might catch a steam engine taking on coal and water, or being maintained by the Railway’s engineers. Make sure you visit either the GWR-style refreshment room or the on-platform pub, the Railwayman’s Arms, which has been serving pints since 1861.
Bridgnorth is served by several bus services. The SVR has a large car park at WV16 5DP with more than 200 spaces available at £4 per day.
Upton Rd, Powick, Worcester WR2 4QZ
Situated on the outskirts of Worcester in Powick is the exciting The Great Worcester Maize Maze. A fun family day out organised by the Colton family on their farm.
The farm is no longer a dairy farm, now concentrating on beef and sheep with a small area of arable. The maize crop is used after the visitor season to feed the livestock on the farm.
The comapany would like to offer a place where people can come and enjoy the countryside by offering a relaxed atmosphere in the courtyard where people can sit and enjoy the views of the Malvern Hills while children play on the courtyard games, before heading into the maze as a family or group of friends.
South Wing, Guildhall, Worcester WR1 2EY
Worcester Business Improvement District (BID) has been in operation since April 2010 and is a non-for-profit organisation with the aim of improving the trading conditions for the businesses who contribute a BID levy.
A key objective of The BID Foundation is to increase transparency and accountability of the industry. In consultation with BIDs, levy payer groups and policy makers, including the Ministry for Housing, Communities and Local Government, they have developed some recommended minimum standards, which will increase transparency of the industry.
