The Little Packhorse is somewhat off the main area of town but well worth seeking out.
Good food & drinks are available in both lunchtime and evening opening sessions.
As it's name suggests this was a stop on the various packhorse routes and was close to the ford across the River Severn and also to the quay for access to ships.
An interesting statistic from their website :-
In 1840, Bewdley held 2 country records, the highest concentration of licences per head of population in the country; and probably linked the highest crime rate in Worcestershire. There were 71 public houses, one for every 79 residents.
