Bewdley to Wyre Forest Circular with steam train element, Worcestershire

**Bewdley to Wyre Forest Circular with steam train element, Worcestershire** **Saturday, 31st October** Journey back in time with me as we travel to the historic Georgian town of Bewdley with an exciting steam train element on the Severn Valley Railway. You can expect to see staff and volunteers decked out in pristine golden age uniforms and to feel like you are back in a different era where everything was done with pride. I suspect it will also all feel quite spooky as it's Halloween. Dracula costumes are optional! Our hike begins from Bewdley station and we will stroll into beautiful Bewdley, across the very grand bridge to take an initial walk along the picturesque River Severn. We will reach the ancient parish of Ribbesford where we can take a rest at Ribbesford Church. We will gradually climb up to enter the Wyre Forest where we can feel the benefits of walking through the forest completely immersed in nature. We will return via Dowles Brook, which is stunning. Back in Bewdley we will have time for a cafe or pub stop before getting the last steam train back to Kidderminster station. **Additional Notes**: This is an undulating moderate grade walk with some inclines and it's a full day out. Please bring a packed lunch with plenty of snacks and water. Also I would recommend bringing your wet weather gear just in case.
