Landscape and Geology Trail

This trail runs from Kidderminster to Bridgnorth. Steaming through geological time on the Severn Valley Railway, in the comfort of a railway carriage, you will encounter landscapes created in hot, dry deserts, steamy tropical swamps and exceedingly cold Ice Age conditions. You will see how the underlying rocks and the erosive effects of the river have influenced the landscape.

A round trip, with stopping times at Kidderminster and Bridgnorth takes approximately three hours to complete. A one-way journey takes one and a quarter hours.
