Passing through 16 miles of outstanding countryside the Severn Valley Railway operates every weekend of the year and daily between May and September. It really is worth spending a day, stopping off at a station, exploring a little then stepping on the next train to continue your journey. One of the stations, Arley, features in the BBC TV series, "Oh! Dr.Beeching' and like the other country stations is an ideal starting point for walks along the river banks or into the ancient
 

Wyre Forest. Further downline and downstream, the train arrives in Bewdley, a lovely Georgian riverside town, for which we have a particularly soft spot, since it used to be our home.
