The River Severn is the longest British river, at 354 kilometres (220 miles). It rises at an altitude of 610 metres on Plynlimon near Llanidloes, in the Cambrian Mountains, Mid Wales, and it passes through a number of English counties, with the county towns of Shrewsbury, Worcester, and Gloucester located on its banks. The Severn estuary discharges into the Bristol Channel which in turn discharges into the Celtic Sea and the Atlantic Ocean. With an average discharge of 107 m³/s at Hawbridge (Gloucestershire), the Severn is England's largest river in terms of water flow. The Severn's drainage basin area is 11,420 km², excluding the River Wye and River Avon|Bristol Avon. It is one of the ten major rivers in the United Kingdom.
