Editing River Severn (section)

====The upper river====

Currently the only passenger boat operating between Shrewsbury & Gloucester is the 'River King' vessel that operates in Stourport. Worcester River Cruises used to run boat trips up and down the river between [[Tewkesbury]] and Stourport, operating the boats ''The Pride of the Midlands'' and ''The Earl Grosvenor''.<ref>[http://www.worcesterrivercruises.co.uk/home.html Worcester River Cruises website] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090708025438/http://www.worcesterrivercruises.co.uk/home.html |date=8 July 2009 }}</ref>

The Cathedral Ferry, a foot passenger ferry, also operates on summer weekends from the steps of [[Worcester Cathedral]].<ref>{{cite news |last1=Pryce |first1=Mike |title=NOSTALGIA: Worcester's Cathedral Ferry is a Severn tradition |url=https://www.worcesternews.co.uk/news/17723708.nostalgia-worcesters-cathedral-ferry-is-a-severn-tradition-says-mike-pryce/ |access-date=27 October 2019 |work=Worcester News |date=22 June 2019 |archive-date=24 June 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190624145303/https://www.worcesternews.co.uk/news/17723708.nostalgia-worcesters-cathedral-ferry-is-a-severn-tradition-says-mike-pryce/ |url-status=live }}</ref>
