This thriving little town is a perfect specimen of a severn river port and a
place of beauty. The river is still very important to the town, the large well equipped marina offers a safe haven for people visiting and as a base from which to explore the surrounding countryside
Upton upon Severn may be pretty small, but annual Folk, Jazz, Blues and Water festivals deservedly attract people from far and wide.

MILL DENE GARDEN
Mill Dene Garden has become the passion of Wendy Dare's life. Knowing absolutely nothing about horticulture, early in her married life Wendy and her husband Barry discovered this beautiful half-derelict Cotswold water mill and the story began.
It is definitely an English country garden, but not entirely a cottage garden. It is a child of the Arts and Crafts Movement, but not entirely Arts & Crafts. In parts it is even exotic
It is relaxed, innovative and fun; a very personal garden. It is a garden of peace and tranquility (even if the beautiful kingfisher and heron are eating the trout!). The air is usually heavily scented as priority is given to scented plants. The air is also redolent with the sound of water which comes and goes intriguingly as one moves around the garden. It can be a place to talk to your God if you have one
