Severn Way
A Beautiful Walk Along The River Severn With Farm Land All Around. The Parking Is On The Narrow Lane In The Form Of Makeshift Lay-Bys, However There Is Rarely More Than 1 Or 2 Cars There. I Suggest Keeping Your Dog On A Lead Until You Get Through The Gate. Go Up The Track And Bear Left And Keep Walking! I've Walked About 4 Miles Before Turning Round And Heading Back, I'm Not Sure How Far It's Possible To Go, Many More Miles I Assume. There's Plenty Of Access To The River For Hot And Thirsty Dogs. It's Incredibly Quiet, I've Rarely Encountered More Than 1 Or 2 Other Walkers, With Lots Of Wildlife Such As Pheasants, Rabbits And Even A Hate Or 2. Severn Way Kempsey Worcester WR5 3LP 13.20 miles
