DY11 POSTCODE REGION

Dudley (DY11)

The DY11 postcode area is located in the Dudley postcode town region, within the county of Worcestershire, and contains a total of 1023 individual postcodes.

There are 42 electoral wards in the DY11 postcode area, including Bewdley, Brierley Hill, Dudley, Kidderminster, Kingswinford, Stourbridge, Stourport-On-Severn, Tipton which come under the local authority of the Wyre Forest Council.

Combining the whole postcode region, 18% of people in DY11 are classed as having an AB social grade, (i.e. 'white-collar' middle-upper class), compared to 27% across the UK.

This does not mean that the people of DY11 are poorer than other areas, but it may give an indication that there are areas of deprivation.


The DY11 postcode is located in south-east Worcestershire in the West Midlands region in the UK. It covers the small towns of Kidderminster, Stourport-on-Severn, Bewdley, Wolverley, Cookley, Chaddesley Corbett, and the surrounding villages.

Kidderminster is known for its historic industry, having once been at the heart of the British carpet industry. The town is also home to the popular Severn Valley Railway, an attraction that takes visitors back in time to enjoy steam locomotives puffing through picturesque countryside. Stourport-on-Severn, on the other hand, is a smaller market town, but has its own quayside with marinas and a shambles. It is a favoured spot for boat trips and is noted for its Victorian buildings.

Bewdley is an attractive Georgian market town set on the banks of the River Severn. It has pedestrianised streets, many interesting independent stores and exclusive boutiques, and even a theatre. Wolverley stands at the junction of the rivers Severn and Stour and, like Bewdley, is renowned for its Georgian character. The Lake and Valley Wildlife Park is a great place for families to spend a day, while nearby Cookley is an area of heathland, with several nature reserves great for avid bird watchers.

Chaddesley Corbett rounds off the postcode area, and the small village is well known for its pubs, which has seen patrons pass through over many centuries. Together, the towns and villages attract visitors with their character, heritage and rural charm, and there are plenty of amenities, attractions and local businesses.

For shopping, there are large stores, supermarkets, and local food stores in most towns. There's also a great range of pubs, restaurants, and eateries, with locally-sourced and organic options being particularly popular, and art galleries, golf courses, spas, and leisure centres in the area. There are also good educational and transport links, with Kidderminster having its own station on the main line to London, making DY11 an accessible, desirable area of the UK.
