The '''River Severn''' is the longest [[river]] in [[Great Britain]], rising on [[Plynlimon]] and running through [[Llanidloes]], [[Welshpool]], [[Shrewsbury]], [[Bridgnorth]]., [[Bewdley]], [[Stourport]], [[Worcester]], [[Tewkesbury]] and [[Gloucester]] before debouching into the [[Bristol Channel]].
It has a famous [[tidal bore]], one of only a handful of surfable tidal waves in the world, on which the [[surfing]] record for the longest ride was set in 1996, a 5.7 mile ride taking over 40 minutes.<ref>http://www.bbc.co.uk/gloucestershire/interactive/interactive_map/gloucester/severn_bore.shtml</ref>
