This walking holiday in the UK operates March to October and in either direction. The above distances are only a suggestion. If you would like to walk longer or shorter distances, we can arrange that too. Our stated distances include mileage to the accommodation or pickup point and so may not agree with the guide book mileages. Rest days can be taken in any location. Why not combine this walk with a hiking tour in another part of England or the UK. Our staff will be happy to advise on necessary transfers. Online booking available. A deposit of £85 per person is required to secure the booking, with the balance due 6 weeks before departure. |
The River Severn Estuary has a rapid decrease in width and also a rapid change in the depth of the river, thereby forming a funnel shape. As the incoming tide travels up the estuary, it is routed into an ever descreasing channel, thus forming the bore wave.
