Running Horse Inn

According to popular legend, the uniquely named Running Horse Inn pub acquired its title from sheep rustlers who engaged in cross-border raids into England from across the Welsh border, reportedly escaping through Welsh Gate. Situated on the outskirts of the quaint Worcestershire town of Bewdley, in a peaceful rural location overlooking the stunning bluebell-covered landscape of the Wyre Forest, the Running Horse Inn offers a charming setting. Bewdley’s history and beauty defy its small size, with attractive brick homes and timbered shops nestled together, while the River Severn meanders through tree-lined fields and the heart of this picturesque Medieval town.

Within Bewdley, visitors can also explore the splendid Beaucastle, a grand country home boasting a romantic tower and spires. To the East, the West Midland Safari & Leisure Park offers a fascinating experience, where guests can catch a glimpse of the only white lions in all of Britain. The Running Horse Inn is a dog-friendly establishment, making it an ideal base for travellers looking to explore the surrounding area. Just a short drive away, the Shropshire Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) beckons, while the vibrant city of Birmingham is less than an hour’s journey. Positioned perfectly for discovering the rich culture and scenic beauty of Worcestershire and the west of England, the Running Horse Inn promises an unforgettable stay.
