Organise your own trip on the River Severn?

The Severn is Britain’s longest river covering around 220 miles from its source high in the Cambrian Mountains to eventually emptying into the sea in the Bristol Channel.

With around 130 miles of almost hazard free river the Severn is ideal for journeying and makes a trip of several days combined with camping, or where possible, bed and breakfast. Of course you don’t have to do a long journey to enjoy the Severn, you can hire a kayak or canoe for a few hours, here are a few suggestions.

Half day 3-6+ miles
A favourite is to start just above Shrewsbury Weir and paddle up river around the town for a picnic before paddling back to the Weir.

Full day 14 miles.
Montford Bridge to Shrewsbury Weir, peace and tranquillity & stunning scenery, stop along the way for a picnic lunch

2/3 days 36 miles
Pool Quay to Shrewsbury, enjoy the twists & turns of the upper reaches, paddling through the continuously changing scenery. Spend the night camping at The Royal Hill Pub and/or The Olde Swan, Montford Bridge.

The Canoeist’s Guide to the River Severn is available, please send a 9x4 SAE £1 stamp.

We can help you to plan your trip by suggesting itineraries, meeting you at the start of your trip with the equipment and then collecting it from you at the end.
