Kidderminster is a historic market town located in north Worcestershire, situated on the banks of the River Stour and framed by the rolling hills of the Wyre Forest district. The town is widely known for its long-standing heritage in the carpet industry, which shaped much of both its identity and architecture; remnants of its industrial past are visible in the red-brick mills and warehouses scattered throughout the area. Kidderminster is also positioned approximately 17 miles from Birmingham, making it a popular spot for commuters searching for a balance between town amenities and access to the countryside.
