Journey to Barry The River Severn is one of the most important rivers in the United Kingdom. Objective; To search for changes in the river as we move away from the source

Here is a map of the river Severn The River Severn is one of the most important rivers in the United Kingdom. A A Location A is the source of the river Location D is near Bristol as the river nears the end of its journey. B B

Facts about the Source of the River Severn location Plynlimon, Cambrian Mountains, Wales elevation 610 m (2,001 ft) Two hundred and twenty miles (354km) and four counties later, it is swallowed by the Bristol Channel and eventually the Atlantic Ocean.

Close to the Source This stream is one of many tributaries of the River Severn. How would you describe the shape of the valley? How big is the stream?

Waterfalls Waterfalls found in the upper course of the river. Can you describe how a waterfall forms? Use the key words below to help you. Gorge/Waterfall retreat Plunge Pool Softer Rock Hard Cap Rock

A closer view of the river Near the top of the mountain you can see the river bed. How would you describe the size and shape of the material in the river?

The Upper Valley Here is a view up to the top of the valley. What is the vegetation like on the hillsides on these mountains? How steep is the land the river is flowing over?

On the Slide On the walk up the valley there is a different scene. What do you think has happened here? Why are the rocks in metal cages?

The Middle Course As the Severn arrives in the countryside near Welshpool there is a massive changed. What has happened to the width of the river? How has the river altered in shape? What do you notice about the valley?

Finally lower course We eventually reach the end of our journey down the River Severn. The river goes into the sea near Bristol.

The Severn Estuary What is there in the river? How has this happened? What other features both human and physical are linked to the presence of the River Severn being in this location?

The Severn Bridge The end of our journey Final observations: How wide is the river here? Where are the valley sides? What is the main river process in operation here?

Plenary Now label of the source of the river Severn to your map and annotate the processes taking place at each stage.
