Severn River Picnic

The river Severn (Afon Severn) runs through Newtown, just 45 minutes from home, and is quite a hub by Wales standards. No wait, that should read Newtown is situated along the Severn, since the river was here first.

We stopped and picnicked at Dolerw Park (Supposedly pronounced similar to 'dol-arrow' with rolling r sounds. X marks the spot) on one of our scenic drives. It's a well maintained green space 

There's a network of paths and picnic benches to facilitate enjoyment of this tranquil space

So many fish paddling and swarming in the amber shallows

A footbridge across the river gives access to both sides of the river

So peaceful, and shady as well!

We had so much food left over from our previous day of feasting, that it took just 5 minutes to put together a picnic lunch.
