Welcome to Strensham

Strensham is a small village located in the county of Worcestershire, England. It is situated on the banks of the River Avon and is surrounded by beautiful countryside. The village has a rich history dating back to the Roman times, and there are many historic buildings and landmarks to explore.

One of the most notable landmarks in Strensham is the Strensham Lock, which is part of the Worcester and Birmingham Canal. The lock was built in the 18th century and is still in use today. It is a popular spot for boaters and walkers, and there are many scenic walks along the canal towpath.

Strensham is also home to the Strensham Services, which is a popular rest stop for motorists on the M5 motorway. The services offer a range of amenities, including restaurants, shops, and petrol stations. Despite its modern facilities, Strensham has managed to maintain its rural charm and is a great place to visit for those looking to escape the hustle and bustle of city life.

Local Dog Walks

Severn Way
A Beautiful Walk Along The River Severn With Farm Land All Around. The Parking Is On The Narrow Lane In The Form Of Makeshift Lay-Bys, However There Is Rarely More Than 1 Or 2 Cars There. I Suggest Keeping Your Dog On A Lead Until You Get Through The Gate. Go Up The Track And Bear Left And Keep Walking! I've Walked About 4 Miles Before Turning Round And Heading Back, I'm Not Sure How Far It's Possible To Go, Many More Miles I Assume. There's Plenty Of Access To The River For Hot And Thirsty Dogs. It's Incredibly Quiet, I've Rarely Encountered More Than 1 Or 2 Other Walkers, With Lots Of Wildlife Such As Pheasants, Rabbits And Even A Hate Or 2. Severn Way Kempsey Worcester WR5 3LP 6.14 miles
