Melverley
One of only three timber-framed churches in Shropshire and dedicated to St. Peter. It stands on the banks of a tributary of the Severn. Some of its timbers are said to come from old ships. In recent years a national appeal saved it from a watery grave. The Isle, Bicton
It is a little bit of Shropshire almost entirely surrounded by water. No wonder its name means 'little island'. Shrewsbury
Another bit of Shropshire almost completely surrounded by water. Try a day out exploring the river bank footpaths. Atcham
A John Gwynne bridge. It is now closed to traffic and is probably the finest footpath in the country. The nearby church is well worth a visit. Cressage
The name means 'Christ's Oak'. An ancient oak tree still marks the original Severn crossing point on an even older route between hill forts at Church Stretton and on the Wrekin. The house depicted stands on the outskirts of the village. Buildwas
Buildwas Abbey, founded in 1135, stands on the banks of the Severn. It was of such great importance that its products were sent as far afield as Italy, first down the Severn, then by ship from Bristol. Ironbridge
Probably the most famous bridge across the Severn and well known to most visitors to Shropshire. What is not so well known is that it would have fallen down long ago if it had not been for the remedial work carried out by Thomas Telford. Linley
Although the Severn is not within sight at this point, it is worth remembering that the world's first iron boat was launched on the Severn, not far from this old blacksmith's shop. Contrary to all opinion at the time, it floated! Astley Abbotts
The fine Severn Hall at Astley Abbotts gets its name from the river which it overlooks.
In the local church there is a maiden's garland in memory of a young lady who was drowned in the river on the eve of her wedding. |
