Pictures of the River Severn,

Stourport to Worcester.

Only a short section of the middle Severn is navigable to our boats. Below Gloucester lies the difficult waters of the Severn estuary, now by passed by the Gloucester and Sharpness canal. Above Stourport the river has never been improved and the absence of weirs and locks makes navigation for our boats impossible.

The River from Stourport to Worcester goes through three locks in twelve miles. However it is over hundred foot wide throughout.

At Worcester the river goes up through Diglis lock past Diglis basin where the Worcester and Birmingham canal starts its climb up to Birmingham.
