About the trail

From the wild Cambrian Mountains flows the longest river in Britain: the River Severn. For years it 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 Severn 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.

Severn Way Short Break - North Section

Explore the upper central part of the Severn Way on this short break. Riverbank pathways and woodland trails lace together bustling medieval towns, Roman remains, and a wealth of revolutionary industrial history.

Bridgnorth itself is a treasure, filled to the brim with old buildings such as the former town hall, Waterloo Terrace, and the steam and cliff railways. An historic and tranquil slice of the Shropshire countryside.
