Storm Dennis Floods in Shropshire
Making use of our Self Fly Helicopter Hire, this footage was taken by Ridgway CEO Tim Jones, who took to the skies over the weekend.
This area in Shropshire is situated on the River Severn and River Vyrnwy and stretches across the border between England & Wales near the Powys hills & Rodney’s Pillar.
The River Vyrnwy is a tributary to the River Severn which is Britain’s longest river. The Severn runs for 220 miles from the Welsh mountains, through the Shropshire and Worcestershire countryside and down to the flatlands of the Severn estuary and the Bristol Channel
