Kinver. This beautiful Staffordshire village is set on the banks of the River
Stour, just a 15 - minute drive from the centre of Stourbridge. It is surrounded
by Shropshire, Worcestershire and the West Midlands. National Trust Kinver
Edge sits to the west of the village and is a rather spectacular sandstone
escarpment, with rock dwellings, several walks, and fabulous views.
The village has a buzzing community, with several good pubs, cafes, farm
shops, a brewery and three schools. It is also a popular berthing spot for
many boats on the Staffordshire/Worcestershire Canal and is only 45 minutes to
the centre of Birmingham. This is an excellent choice for anyone looking for a
busy village lifestyle, but without sacrificing transport networks and
convenience.

broadband.
