The Thames. Flows through London. The Avon. Flows through Stratford - home of Shakespeare. The Stour. Flows through Ipswich - Made famous by artist John Constable; 'Flatford Mill' stands by it,' The Haywain' stands in it. The Severn. Famous for three reasons. 1. It is spanned in Shropshire by the World's First Iron Bridge. 2. Rising in the Welsh Cambrians and emptying in the Bristol Channel, at 220 miles the Severn is Britain's longest river. 3. The Severn Bore, the second biggest in the world, is a tidal wall of water that flows upstream some 25 miles inland. Often surfed, the bore can raise the depth of the river by some 50 feet.
