The River Severn
The River Severn is 388 kilometres, or 220 miles, long, making
it the longest river in Britain. The river has only had this claim to fame since
the most recent ice age, 10, 000 years ago. Before this
it flowed northwards into the sea, but an ice sheet
blocked its way and it started to flow southwards into the Bristol Channel.
It flows from the Cambrian Mountains in Wales, via Shrewsbury, Ironbridge,
Bridgnorth, Bewdley, Worcester and Gloucester to the Bristol Channel.
This map shows the route of the River Severn from Wales and through Shropshire.
