Shadow the River Severn from its source at Plynlimon in Mid-Wales to its end at Severn Beach in England.
From £385 per person
From the wild Cambrian Mountains flows the longest river in Britain: the Severn. For years it supported industrial revolution in Shropshire, Worcestershire and Gloucestershire, leaving rural wharves and busy inns dotted along its length. These make it 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.
“Shrewsbury and Ironbridge were lovely - we did well to choose an extra day there.”Ms Terry, UK
“The Severn Way is a pleasant and interesting walk which is not too taxing. It makes a pleasant change from toiling uphill and down dale.”Mr Rooke, UK
“Really enjoyable. Superb variety of high-quality accommodation. Arrangements worked faultlessly- thank you!”Mr Hallatt, UK
“A great experience to follow a river from its source (a boggy pool on a mountain) to a mighty four mile wide estuary. It was so varied, changing all the time and I loved it all.”Ms Mobbs, UK
