Halfpenny Green Airport makes for a nice bike stop. Once you follow the blue line to the cafe, avoiding those fast things coming in to land as you cross the runway, you can have a nice half hour or so watching the planes land and take off whilst enjoying a coffee and bun!

Great cafe lots of different seating places in and out. Welcomes muddy boots, dogs and cyclists. Open every day except Tues (in May)

Great cafe with lovely cake

dates back to 1700s

Very recommended. Well located for cyclist: Wyre Forest, River Severn Valley, possible start in Ironbridge/Bridgnorth direction.

Nice stop to rest and have some snacks before hilly roads ahead.

Hartlebury Common is an area of lowland heath in north Worcestershire, England, situated just outside the town of Stourport-on-Severn. Hartlebury Common and Hillditch Coppice are a biological and geological Site of Special Scientific Interest which covers an area of 90.2 hectares (229 acres). The common supports many varieties of wild plants and insects, especially butterflies and moths. Hartlebury Common and Hillditch Pool are a Local Nature Reserve. The name Hartlebury is derived from the Anglo-Saxon Heoertlabyrig meaning "Hill of the Deer". Hartlebury Common lies on Quaternary wind-blown sand which covers two river terraces of the River Severn overlying Bunter and Keuper Sandstone. It is situated within the Abberley and Malvern Hills Geopark which was launched in 2004. Falling within the counties of Herefordshire, Gloucestershire, Shropshire and Worcestershire the Geopark covers 3,240 km2 (1,250 square miles). The geological and geomorphological significance of the area has been recognised for many years with 13 Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) and 179 Local Geological Sites (LGS) present. The Abberley and Malvern Hills Geopark is one of only seven geoparks in the UK. Source: Wikipedia

Bewdley was once an important inland port, connecting Shrewsbury with the Midlands and the seaports of Gloucester and Bristol. Originally the quays were shorter and had slipways between them. In time, as more landing space was needed, the quayside walls were joined into one continuous length. The larger boats, known as Severn Trows, carried local goods such as rope and charcoal, metal goods from Birmingham and Staffordshire pottery to the south. They returned laden with woollen cloth, wine, spirits, tobacco, sugar, spices, citrus fruit and dried fish to be sold in market towns across the West Midlands and Welsh borders. This civic space was developed when the Environment Agency built the Town's new flood defences, and incorporates work by artist Elizabeth-Jane Grose. On the lower quayside you can find flowing words relating to the river and the vessels that worked on it. On the upper quayside have a look for the 'cargo-plates' recording forty of the common and less common exports and imports to the Port of Bewdley. Source: Environment Agency
