The Harbour Inn, Bewdley

Traditional pub with a small-ish front bar but a games room to the side, a family room and conservatory accessed through the games room and a big beer garden to the rear overlooking the surrounding countryside. Main meals are typically £7 to £8. On handpull there was Wye Valley Butty Bach, Hobson’s Twisted Spire and a cider. A handy 200 yard walk down the hill from the Severn Valley Railway station at Arley means that it will always be on my SVR pub crawl itinerary.

The Harbour Inn is reputedly the only pub left in Arley itself and is located in a country lane between the village and the Severn Valley Railway station. It's a nice old pub with low ceilings, old prints on the walls and some nasty looking animal traps hanging from the ceiling. There are a couple of armchairs in a cosy snug next to an old fireplace above which is a display of polished pre-decimalisation coins. It has a family room with a restaurant and a large beer garden with sheep roaming nearby. The pub serves two real ales and a real cider.
