Discover the Severn Way, a 215-mile (344km) journey that follows the course of the UK’s longest river from the wild heights of Plynlimon plateau in mid-Wales, through the superb landscapes of Powys, Shropshire, Worcestershire and Gloucestershire, including the tranquil Hafren Forest, before reaching the Bristol Channel at Severn Beach.
Explore a rich tapestry of history and geography as you follow the River Severn’s path, visiting lively market towns and villages such as Llanidloes, Welshpool, Shrewsbury, Ironbridge, Worcester, and Gloucester. The route weaves together threads of trade, commerce, civil war, and the lives of ordinary folk, finishing at Severn Beach or continuing onward on the Bristol Link to the heart of Bristol.
Each section features a detailed route summary table with start and finish points, distances, ascent and descent, and practical advice on accommodation, public transport, and facilities at key locations including Llanidloes, Newtown, Shrewsbury, Ironbridge, Worcester, Tewkesbury, Gloucester Docks, and Severn Beach.
Navigate the Severn Way confidently with Ordnance Survey 1:50,000 maps, featuring clear overlays that show each stage of the route.
