Three Things to Do in Kidderminster
Kidderminster may not have the quaint riverside charm of nearby Bewdley, but it has plenty to offer visitors. Once at the heart of Britain’s carpet industry, the town has a rich industrial heritage, a thriving leisure scene and some great attractions to explore.
Start your visit at the Museum of Carpet, where you’ll discover the fascinating story of the industry that made Kidderminster famous. If you’re lucky, you’ll even catch one of the volunteers demonstrating the traditional weaving techniques on the historic looms.
Next, head to the beautifully restored Severn Valley Railway station to soak up the atmosphere of Britain’s golden age of steam. Take a stroll along the nearby canal before rounding off your day with something completely different—an exciting session of axe throwing.
Kidderminster has far more to offer than many people realise. Alongside its rich industrial heritage, you’ll find beautiful parks, riverside walks, nearby countryside and a fantastic choice of cafés, pubs and restaurants. Whether you’re planning a family day out or simply exploring North Worcestershire, Kidderminster makes an excellent base for discovering the area.
