Stourport

For an inland town, miles away from the sea, Stourport on Severn has a surprising and delightful maritime atmosphere, full of boats, people and water.

Built around the Staffordshire & Worcestershire Canal and five basins, Stourport is a charming Georgian town, full of gracious architecture and all the pleasures and facilities of a traditional holiday resort. Pleasure boats offering river trips have been a popular visitor attraction since the late 1700s and competitors come from all over the country to race at Stourport on Severn’s annual rowing regatta.
