Starting its course in the Cambrian Mountains on the Plynlimon massif, this river snakes its way through Powys, passing via settlements such as Newtown and Welshpool before crossing the border into England. Once in England, the river gradually turns south while passing through a handful of sizeable settlements as it routes through Shropshire, Worcestershire and Gloucestershire before ending at one of the highest tidal range estuaries in the world. While exploring this river, you may encounter such landmarks as the iconic Iron bridge and a sandstone castle in Shropshire, a beautiful cathedral in Worcestershire and if you visit at the right time of year you may even see a bore.
