Attractions and Places To See around Milson - Top 18

Possible to more or less drive to the top.

The Wyre Forest Beaver enclosure is worth stopping at. Can't guarantee to see any but you never know 😁

Quite a busy bridge on B-road to Tenbury. However, water in River Teme is brilliant as always, so may be worth stopping right before the bridge.

Little, though lovely town, on the border of Shropshire and Worcestershire counties. Very beautiful high street with some cafés

Great to stop for a coffee or lunch, plenty of pubs and little cafes on the high street. Pembroke House or the Fountain Inn have some really good lunch menus. If you fancy a hill challenge you can take the road from Tenbury to Clee Hill.

Worcestershire Natural Flood Management (NFM) Project in the Wyre Forest. The aim of this project is to reduce flooding in the Dowles Brook catchment, by implementing at large number of small scale, natural interventions in upstream areas to help slow the flow of water and hold it back during times of high flows. These measures involve working on the tributaries of the Dowles Brook and could include things such as planting hedges, creating wetland areas. attenuation ponds, leaky dams, soll aeration and other land management techniques The intention is to slow the flood peak on the Dowdes so it does not coincide with the flood peak on the River Severn at Bewdley. Water moving at speed through the landscape is incredibly destructive and leads to erosion, soil loss and widespread damage, therefore slowing down the water has a wealth of positive impacts. It is the intention that many more features will be installed over the riext few years with the aim of slowing the flow throughout the catchment. If you would like more information, or are a landowner who is keen to get involved. please contact the NFM Project Officer al Worcestershire County Council. www.worcestershire.gov.uk/NFM Natural Flood Management - Leaky Dams Trees are sourced from the immediate stream side and used to build a lattice. Over time, especially in high flow, smaller woody debris accumulates naturally, and this increases the effectiveness of the leaky dam. The dars are wedged behind living tree stumps to prevent them moving or floating away, over time they bed in and naturalise as part of the landscape. Leaky dams work with nature, providing a food source and habitat for wildlife. This timber lattice allows wildlife, such as fish, to move freely upstream and downstream. Leaky dams are constructed to allow free passage of water in normal flows, and only hold water back when required during high rainfall. The backed up water is pushed out of the channel into appropriate sites upstream where silts are deposited. A single structure has little impact, but a series of leaky dams at various locations can help reduce the risk of flooding downstream. Felling by the river bank allows more sunlight to reach the watercourse and its banks. This leads to the growth of marginal vegetation, creating further food sources and habitats for wildlife.

Nice Tenbury Wells Town.

Stanford Bridge over the River Teme. Built in 1905 to replace an earlier bridge on the same site. The earliest recorded bridge here was 1548. The new road bridge visible 45m downstream was built in 1973.
