River Severn
The River Severn is the longest river in Great Britain, about 354 kilometres long, rising on Plynlimon in mid Wales and flowing through Shropshire and Worcestershire to the Bristol Channel. In the early Middle Ages its valley formed a frontier zone between the Welsh kingdoms and Mercia. Towns such as Shrewsbury, Worcester and Gloucester grew at its crossings.
