The River Severn

Severn isn't a nice gentle well behaved river like the Thames. Severn is wild,
she's untamed, exciting, dangerous, Severn is to be respected-at all times.
No pretty views of the rolling countryside for Severn. For Severn has to be
controlled between high wooded banks. Severn floods. No "Moor as you
please" for mooring have to be carefully engineered to be safe on
Severn.
She's dramatic, thrilling, challenging. A great big beast of a river. A man's
river. A river to be beaten. A river that will always win in the end.
At Gloucester she becomes tidal and gives way to the Gloucester & Sharpness
Canal. A ship canal where, once, huge tankers silently plodded their way across
the golden corn fields of Gloucestershire. Capturing the feeling, the magic,
the wonder. Watch the video....Meet the people. |
