Stourport has long had connections with the river Severn and the canal network. Many narrow boat lovers will have spent memorable time here within the marina area which is one of the largest in Europe. Although the boat building industry has long since disappeared there are lots of other things to see. The basin is one of the largest inland water ways in the country and many different canal barges and boats moor here. The tow path is just a stones throw from the house and a short cut into town.  

Several schools in and around the area for both Primary and Secondary education. All are quite accessible with private and church schools readily available also. Kidderminster has a college too. Buses do run regularly for transport. 

Walking distance from the town which boasts supermarkets, chemists, eating houses, dress shops, doctors' surgeries, a well respected rowing club, cricket and tennis club, butchers and bakers, dryer cleaners, newsagents, suit shops, dentists, hairdressers and other general shops. Stourport is ideal if you can spend an afternoon browsing. On the edge of some stunning countryside too and you don't have to travel far to enjoy it! 

Within a couple of miles drive is Kidderminster, once the capital throughout the world for its carpet manufacturing industry has survived the decline of this major employment and business and diversified into a thriving town. Old buildings which were in times gone by, full of workers and a hive of activity had fallen into disrepair. Now they have been brought back to life to provide us with some history and a new generation of occupants and usage. 

The canal was used for the transport of goods and fuel for these large factories, yet now provides the back drop for the eating houses and shops etc which nestle beside the water. Many visitors will use the waterways on their narrow boats which are navigable between Kidderminster, Wolverley, Stourport and Birmingham. Change has happened yet the town is bustling again with vibrant appealing shops and eating establishments. 

Never far away from grand scenery and wide open spaces. The Wyre Forest boasts wonderful wildlife and many miles of footpaths. 

For those football fans amongst us, there is the Kidderminster Harriers ground should you wish to support a local club. 

There is a train station in Kidderminster, which provides a service to Birmingham, London and Worcester and beyond which is ideal if one works in the city. 

Bewdley is a quaint Georgian riverside town growing in stature from its trade from the Severn to the present day, supplemented now by the many visitors who come to Bewdley from all over the world to discover the architectural history of the area. 

Ideal location for commuting, with a good road network to M5, M6, M42, Birmingham and Worcester all within travelling distance. As we have already mentioned the Kidderminster railway station provides good frequent travel.
