Nestled in the heart of Worcestershire, where the River Severn meanders gently, lies a hidden gem that's perfect for those seeking a laid-back getaway. Welcome to Riverside Caravan Park, a haven of tranquility located on Dowles Road, Bewdley. This isn't your average caravan park; it's a slice of countryside charm that'll make you feel like you've stepped into a scene from Hot Fuzz, but with less of the 'blue on blue' crime.
Pitch Perfect
First things first, let's talk about the pitches. Riverside offers a mix of hardstanding and grass pitches, all generously sized and well-maintained. With electric hook-ups available, you can keep your gadgets charged and the espresso machine brewing. And if you're camping, you'll love the dedicated tent field, complete with its own water point.
But the real star of the show is the park's location. Perched on the banks of the River Severn, it's like having your own private fishing spot (just remember your rod license!). The river's a hive of activity, with canoes, kayaks, and even the odd swan gliding by. It's a far cry from the concrete jungle, that's for sure.
While the park is idyllic, it'd be a shame not to explore the charming town of Bewdley. A short stroll across the bridge, and you're in the heart of it. Think independent shops, traditional pubs, and even a microbrewery - cheers to that!
Foodies, listen up. The Bewdley Pudding Club is a must-visit. Yes, you read that right. This isn't your average dining experience; it's a celebration of all things sweet. Think sticky toffee pudding, treacle tart, and more. It's like a real-life Willy Wonka factory, but with less Oompa Loompas.

If you're more into history than honeycomb, Bewdley has you covered. The Bewdley Museum is a treasure trove of local history, housed in a beautiful Georgian building. It's like stepping back in time, with exhibits ranging from the Iron Age to the Victorian era.
And if you fancy a day trip, the West Midlands Safari Park is just a hop, skip, and a jump away. It's not every day you get to see lions, giraffes, and meerkats from the comfort of your car. Just remember to keep your windows closed - you don't want to end up as a lion's lunch.
