A classic spot with a storied past
The Running Horse Inn resides on the edge of the small town of Bewdley, a picturesque spot with the River Severn running through.

There's also a beer garden to soak up the sunshine in, plus the West Midland Safari & Leisure Park and Birmingham city centre are all within easy reach if you're planning a day of fun for the family.
