Hiking
The River Severn begins its epic 220 mile (354 km) journey right here, high in the Cambrian Mountains. The Severn is the longest river in Britain and has the most voluminous flow of water by far in all of England and Wales. A wooden post marks the source of the river. This is the start of the Severn Way long-distance hiking route, which follows the river all the way to Bristol.
