Retirement Properties Spotlight in Kinver

Kinver was called Chenavare in Domesday Book and has been fashioned by its geography. Kinver Edge, 200 acres of woodland and heath dominated by an escarpment and owned by the National Trust, was once the site of an Iron Age fort. Stourton Castle was maintained as a hunting lodge for the nobility who used the Royal Forest and King John frequented the castle in the early 13th century.

The most significant reason for the rise in Kinvers‘ importance was the River Stour and iron was being produced here in the 14th century and by the 17th five mills had been established in the Parish. Today Kinver is one of the most popular and accessible villages in the region.
