Tenbury Wells (3 miles)
Tenbury Wells 'The Town in the Orchard' is a small ancient market town situated in the very north west of Worcestershire on the A456, just over three miles from Lower House Farm. It is separated from south Shropshire by the fast flowing River Teme, which begins its journey in mid Wales. The town nestles peacefully in the beautiful Teme Valley that is under-explored. The area is still largely unspoilt farming country and perfect for walking in the delightful countryside of the Teme Valley. Tenbury had the ‘Wells’ added to its name in the mid 19th century to help promote the Mineral Water Wells that had been found in the town from 1840 onwards. The mineral waters brought about the building in 1862 of the now restored Tenbury Spa, or Pump Rooms as it is generally known. The town is a good base for discovering other areas of the Teme Valley and beyond. It is close to some excellent walks and has variety of interesting shops. Tenbury lies in an area known for growing hops and cider apples, 'The Town in the Orchard'.
As well as a wide variety of local shops, there is a good selection of cafes, restaurants and pubs serving reasonably priced food. Bowkett's Supermarket, a friendly family run business can be found in the centre of Tenbury and stocks a range of high class local produce. Bowkett's is currently celebrating its centenary and is offering many discounts and free prize draws as part of its celebrations.
