About the Running Horse Inn – your local country pub in Bewdley

There’s a lot in a name. Take ours for example; inspired by sheep rustlers who conducted cross-border raids into England from Wales, we’ve been bound to the countryside from our very first day. And if you ever visit, you’ll sense it. The connection to our surroundings. 

We are, in so many ways, the ideal country pub. From the wooden beams to the log fire and the rural location, as rich in history as it is in beauty. Not to mention our pub menu, which is exactly what you would hope to settle in for as you pull up a pew. All that’s left is a warm welcome, and that’s always a guarantee here at the Running Horse Inn – the best pub in Bewdley.

Experience true tranquility

Located on the serene banks of the River Severn, Bewdley in Worcestershire evokes a sense of countryside calm that lingers long after you leave. 

Nature lovers will find themselves utterly enchanted by the surrounding Wyre Forest – a lush, green sanctuary where the melodies of birdsong and the rustling of leaves invite you to pause and simply breathe. While the Shropshire Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty is a mere half-hour drive from the Running Horse Inn. 

And for those with an appreciation for history, Bewdley offers more than you could hope for. A visit to the Bewdley Museum offers a fascinating glimpse into its role in the industrial revolution, adding layers of charm to this already captivating spot. The town’s gentle character is matched only by the warmth of our local residents, who ensure you feel welcomed every step of the way. 

Add in the array of delightful independent shops, quaint cafés, and welcoming pubs, and you have a recipe for a perfect place for us to call home.
