THE WYE RUN
Britain isn't big on rivers. We don't have a Mississippi, Danube or Volga, a consequence of being a small, narrow island where nowhere is far from the sea. But short though they are, some of the waterways we do have are very picturesque. Take the Wye, rising in the dramatic mountains of mid Wales and carving its way through beautiful valleys to join the Severn at Chepstow, 134 miles later. Best of all, much of it can be followed by bike along some fantastic roads.
