Bewdley International Airport is the ‘tongue-in-cheek’ nickname of the private landing strip (ICAO code XEG3DW) which can be seen in the field on the left of the line after leaving [[Bewdley Tunnel]] travelling towards [[Bewdley]]. Two small hangars and a windsock are located at the end of the field nearest Bewdley.
The 'Airport' is situated at Droppingwells Farm or Dropping Well Farm and is opposite [[Devil's Spittleful (Rifle Range) Bridge | The Devil's Spittleful]]. The farm is operated by J & W.E. Willets Ltd. In 2020 100 acres at Dropping Well Farm was purchased by the Esmee Fairbairn Foundation through their Land Purchase Fund on behalf of [https://www.worcswildlifetrust.co.uk/heathland-hero Worcestershire Wildlife Trust], with the intention to restore heathland and connect with The Devil's Spittleful and Blackstone Farm Fields nature reserves and Wyre Forest District Council's Rifle Range and Burlish Top nature reserves.<ref>[https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-hereford-worcester-54619198 'Plans to create 'largest heathland habitat' in Worcestershire, BBC, 21 October 2020] (Retrieved 22 October 2020)</ref> The future of the strip is not known.
