Severn Valley Caravan Park

National Trust properties in the vicinity include Dudmaston Estate (five minutes’ drive) and Kinver Edge and the Rock Houses (15 minutes). The former has splendid parkland and a gallery with artworks by the likes of Matisse and Hepworth. Kinver Edge includes a series of dwellings carved out of the rock. Said to have been the cradle of the Industrial Revolution, Ironbridge Gorge (25 minutes) is perhaps best known for its iconic red iron bridge, built in 1779 across the Severn. If you want to know more about the history of the area, head to the Museum of The Gorge, housed in a distinctive turreted red-brick building. Between Bewdley and Kidderminster, West Midlands Safari Park (25 minutes) is the place to admire African big cats, colourful lorikeets (which you can also feed) and reptiles from all over the world – from iguanas to anacondas. You can choose to explore the park on a self-guided walking or driving safari.
