The parish of Stourport-on-Severn sits on the east bank of the River Severn in the district of Wyre Forest, Worcestershire, England. It grew rapidly in the late 18th century as a canal and river port at the junction with the Staffordshire and Worcestershire Canal, centred on the distinctive Stourport Basin and a flight of locks; that canal-era heritage is still visible in Georgian and Victorian buildings and the town’s waterside layout.
Today the parish combines light industry and commuter housing with a lively leisure and tourism scene focused on boating, riverside walks and canal heritage, and retains a strong community feel. Its proximity to woodland and lowland countryside in Wyre Forest and to nearby towns such as Kidderminster and Worcester means residents benefit from both green space and regional amenities.
