Severn Valley Railway runs for 16 miles between Kidderminster and Bridgnorth through beautiful Worcestershire and Shropshire countryside. For most of the journey, the line is just yards away from the River Severn, which it crosses by the 200ft span of Victoria Bridge midway between Trimpley Reservoir and Arley.

Stations are located at Kidderminster, Bewdley, Arley, Highley, Hampton Loade and Bridgnorth, each with its own unique and timeless charm. All of the stations are worth a visit in their own right, so if you have the time to break your journey, I'm sure you'll find something that will interest you at one of them.

Arley is a delightful little village sitting on the hillside facing Arley station. A field right next to the River is open to park your car (ﾣ1 or free out of season). From here you can walk to Arley Station, Arley village, and either side of the River to Victoria Bridge or Trimpley Reservoir. The local pub also serves meals.

From Highley Station you can walk along the banks of the River Severn to Severn Valley Country Park<\a>, or alternatively you can alight at the recently constructed Halt at the SVCP itself.
