Fog in the Severn Valley


The River Severn is, at 220 miles, the longest river in the United Kingdom. Its valley, where it passes through Worcestershire, is wide and shallow. Consequently, at the appropriate times of year, it harbours long-lasting fog. During a recent walk on the Malvern Hills we gazed down on the white blanket that stretched from the edge of the town of Great Malvern to the distant Cotswolds. As we studied the phenomenon below we spared a thought for the near neighbours who would experience quite different days: bright and sunny or dim and dismal.
