Overview

A town walk, crossing the Old River Bed (SSSI) nature reserve. Maybe we will see Beryl and Bertie the elusive beavers who were released into an enclosure last winter! A mixture of pavements, decking and town footpaths, including a pleasant stretch of the river Severn, passing the weir built in 1909. Pubs are available at the end.
