Severn Way - South Section

Shadow the River Severn from its source at Plynlimon in Mid-Wales to its end at Severn Beach in England.
From £495 per person
The Severn Way follows the longest river in Britain from its source in the wild Cambrian Mountains to the sea. For years, the River Severn supported the industrial revolution in Shropshire, Worcestershire and Gloucestershire, and this busy history left rural wharves and busy inns dotted along its length. These make the riverside an accessible – and these days far more peaceful – setting for a relaxing, largely downhill walk that culminates in a meander along the sandy shores of the Severn Beach.
With the powerful Severn Bore sweeping along the broader sections of the river, the Severn Way provides a unique look into a beautiful force of nature, and all it has provided for the people who live along it.
We offer multiple holiday options along this trail. If you wish to experience the entire trail, simply select the first option from the list below.
From £980 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.
