PADDLE THE SEVERN (PESDA) (PB)

Britain's longest river offers so much variety to canoeists, kayakers and paddleboarders: Cambrian Mountains white water, North Shropshire Plain meanders, deep Midlands valleys, broad Worcestershire floodplains, expanses of estuarine sandflats. It is free flowing, only engineered in its final stretches, and runs by cathedrals, castles, quaysides, canals, and the cradle of the Industrial Revolution, Ironbridge. This original paddling guidebook to the Severn covers the entire river in all its moods and aspects, as well as its natural and historic surroundings.
