| Marina entrance at Upton |
Today I walked along part of the Severn Way Path and around Upton. The river Severn is one of England's longest rivers and as it passes through Upton it is majestically wide and serenely beautiful. There are many boat tours you can take along the river, but just walking along\side it is enough to appreciate it's quiet beauty.
Dotted alongside it are numerous pubs, and a warm welcome, cool drink and something good to eat is never difficult to find.
The river here has often flooded, but the new flood defences have so far held and as they are made of glass. when the flood waters rise up t\hem the views of live within the water are fascinating
Upton itself is a quaint little town, full of amazing old historic building. Well worth a visit is the amazing looking Pepperpot Museum, which is full of things from the English Civil War. Just across the road from it is the Tudor House Museum. I have been to many museums, but this is the most curious and intriguing collection of things you never have thought about collecting and until now didn't realise had disappeared.
