This guidebook offers all the information walkers need to enjoy the
338km (210 miles) of the Severn Way. Beginning at the River
Severn's source in Powys, mid-Wales, the route follows the entire
Severn Valley, meandering through many superb landscapes and
interesting towns and villages before finishing near Bristol, in
south-west England. The step-by-step route description is divided
into four county sections, accompanied by OS map extracts and
packed with historical and geographical information about the
places along the way. Also includes a route to the source of the
river via Plynlimon and a link route from Severn Beach back to
Bristol at the end. The River Severn pulls together threads of
history, trade, commerce, civil war and the lives of ordinary folk
to produce a tapestry that is finely woven and rich in colour. That
walkers should want to trace its course, its many twists and turns,
is hardly surprising, not least because of its capacity to offer
countless challenges and plentiful delights. Walking the Severn Way
is a chance to get away from it all and relax without having to
resort to distant mountain regions.
