Embraced by unspoiled farming
country, the area is a haven for outdoor enthusiasts, offering
opportunities for walking, cycling, or driving in the
undiscovered corners of the West Midlands.
Accommodations and dining options abound, with an emphasis on locally
sourced food and regional beverages, particularly the delightful
local beers and ciders.
The addition of 'Wells' to Tenbury's
name in the mid-19th century aimed to promote the mineral water
wells discovered in the town from 1840 onwards.
This led to the establishment of the now-restored Tenbury Spa,
known as the Pump Rooms, in 1862. |

Close to excellent tourist
attractions, Tenbury benefits from a Tourist Office run entirely
by local volunteers.
The office offers maps, leaflets, and brochures, including
information on local walks in Tenbury and the Teme Valley.
Details about events, theaters,
restaurants, pubs, and accommodations are readily available to
enhance visitors' experiences. The Tourist Information Centre at
48 Teme Street serves as a valuable resource, offering maps,
books, and tourist memorabilia for sale, along with brochures on
surrounding attractions.
Open from 10 am to 4 pm, Monday
to Saturday throughout the year, the center is staffed entirely
by dedicated volunteers, providing a warm welcome to visitors. |
Renowned for its
hop and cider apple cultivation, as well as cattle and sheep
rearing, Tenbury hosts the annual Agricultural and Countryside
Show in August—a splendid showcase of the area's agricultural
prowess.
In the late 19th century, Queen Victoria affectionately dubbed
Tenbury as "my little town in the orchard," a sentiment that
continues to resonate.
