Flowing 220 miles (354 km) from the Bristol Channel to the Atlantic Ocean, the River Severn is the longest river in the UK. The river winds through the Welsh Cambrian Mountains before passing through Shropshire, Worcestershire and Gloucester. Along its waters, you might spot otters, foxes and buzzards which call the river home.

The section from Severn Beach to New Passage on the paved England Coast Path might look tempting to ride, but it is a public footpath only used lots by the elderly, wheelchair users, unleashed dogs, fishermen and young children. Beware as I've hears reports that some locals will you give a lot of grief for riding this section, plus your insurance is void too if you cause an accident... I live nearby and suggest sticking to Route 4, or just enjoy the walk.
