A walk from Bridgnorth to Severn Beach through Worcestershire and Gloucestershire.
From £740 per person
This shortened version of the Severn Way samples only the English portion of the route. The river is a huge, broad presence throughout, offering glimpses of the restored locomotives of the Severn Valley Railway and leading on past reservoirs, stately homes, and ornate towns complete with vast docks and grand cathedrals.
Interspersing riversides with canal walks, this low-level route offers the perfect waterside ramble.
Walking through the well-tended gardens of Dudmaston Hall, the Severn Valley Country Park, and Ribbesford House.
Watching the mighty Severn Bore surge up the riverbanks.
Tasting the seaside tang of salt in the air as the River Severn becomes tidal toward the walk’s end.

We do not expect you to have to walk more than a mile from the trail to your accommodation; should your accommodation be further than this, transfers will be provided as standard.
