Komoot says that cycling is not permitted on this section, but judging from all the tyre tracks and bikes besides the canal boats, this is either incorrect or ignored. Anyway a lovely and interesting stretch of towpath sandwiched between the River Severn and the canal. It also passes what remains of the rail bridge that used to cross the Severn.

Good route. Varied. However the parts on the bridleways are full of wheel ruts and overgrown. Missed these out and used the quiet roads. Black Shed good for lunch.
