Location:
Lax Lane is the most delightful of streets in the heart of the historic town of Bewdley, conveniently situated for accessing all amenities and yet tucked away from all the hustle and bustle that comes with other parts of the town. Like many of the roads in Bewdley the location is steeped in history, with the former home of Prime Minster Sir Stanley Baldwin located on this road along with a former national schoolhouse, which has now been turned in to a local artisan brewery. We are informed that Lax Lane was once part of a thriving ropeworks, which made up a substantial proportion of the town's industry at one point.

At the end of Lax Lane is the stunning riverside, affording the resident a beautiful place to sit and enjoy the River Severn as it meanders to Worcester and beyond. Also, just yards away and viewed from the upper floors is the celebrated Jubilee Gardens, a green oasis in the centre of town offering peace and tranquillity, complete with seating and a beautiful lily pool at the centre, fantastic for picnics and taking a stroll with the dog.

The town centre has so much to offer the local resident, including many interesting shops and boutiques, an array of pubs and waterfront eateries, plus many attractions unique to the area such as the Severn Valley Steam Railway and Bewdley Museum. For those who love the outdoors, there is so much to explore nearby, with miles of walks along the River Severn leading to other beauty spots such as Trimpley Reservoir, Ribbesford Woods and of course the Wyre Forest Nature Reserve, which is accessed from a number of points around the edge of town.
