Severn Valley (England)
The Severn Valley is a rural area of the West Midlands region of England, through which the River Severn runs and the Severn Valley Railway steam heritage line operates, starting at its northernmost point in Bridgnorth, Shropshire and running south for 16 miles (26 km) to Ribbesford, a few miles south of Bewdley, Worcestershire in the Wyre Forest. The area is about 25 miles (40 km) due west of Birmingham. There is also use of this term to apply to areas around the River Severn as far south as Gloucester, and as far north as Ironbridge.

Severn Valley Country Park
Severn Valley Country Park is a country park in England, located near Alveley, Shropshire, from Bridgnorth, 7 miles from Kidderminster, roughly central in the Severn Valley. Originally the site of a huge coal mine, it is now a park consisting of woodland, meadows and riverside banks with views over the River Severn and a Green Flag Award. History The site was a coal mine for over 400 years, with shafts being put in at Highley in 1870; and the river and then the railway were used to transport the coal. A new shaft was sunk at Alveley in 1935, with production beginning in 1938 and being fully transferred from Highley by 1940.Shropshire History, Alveley Colliery (retrieved 17 August 2018) Sidings for the colliery on the |
