Severn Valley Railway, Shrewsbury & River Severn Cruise (full day)*
We take a step back in time on the Severn Valley Railway for a wonderful heritage train journey from Kidderminster to the ancient riverside town of Bridgnorth. The train meanders its way along the picturesque Severn Valley, passing quaint towns and villages along the way.
Afterwards, we continue on to Shrewsbury, a fine medieval market town packed with timber-framed black and white buildings, a maze of narrow alleys and cobbled streets. Here we board our boat for a scenic cruise along the River Severn as it loops around the town. We enjoy light refreshments while we take in the beautiful views and discover the town’s unique history from our captain’s commentary.
*Please note on the following dates – 19th May, 15th September and the 29th September, the Severn Valley Railway is not available and will be replaced with the Gloucestershire Warwickshire Steam Railway.
Llandrindod Wells & Hay-on-Wye (full day)
We cross the border into Wales and pay a visit to the market town of Llandrindod Wells which evolved into a fashionable spa resort in the Victorian era, thanks to the discovery of its springs. This picturesque town boasts arts and crafts shops, gift boutiques and beautiful outdoor spaces including Rock Park and Temple Gardens.
Next, we visit the pretty town of Hay-on-Wye which lies on the Anglo-Welsh border. Often described as "the town of books", it is home to numerous independent bookshops selling second hand, antiquarian and rare books as well as antique and craft shops.
Hereford & Worcester (full day)
We spend the morning in Hereford, with its quaint cobbled streets and half-timbered buildings, set along the banks of the River Wye. The 12th-century cathedral is home to the famed 13th-century Mappa Mundi – the largest medieval map of the world in existence, as well as the largest medieval chained library in Europe.
We then make our way to the historic city of Worcester set on the banks of the River Severn. The city is known for its exquisite Royal Worcester porcelain and piquant Worcestershire sauce as well as a magnificent cathedral.
