About the River Worfe
The River Worfe is a small river in east Shropshire. It rises at Crackleybank on Watling Street, just north of Shifnal, and flows past Tong, Donington and Albrighton, then through Ryton and Beckbury. It runs by Stockton and Badger and through Worfield to join the River Severn near Bridgnorth. The name is said to come from an Old English word meaning to wander, and the middle section is notable for its meanders.
Many small brooks feed it, and it drops about 200 feet from source to mouth. The upper reaches have suffered from low flows. The Severn Rivers Trust has fenced about 5 miles of bank and added eel and fish passes and new channels, and a national restoration project on the river began in 2012.
The Worfe holds brown trout, and fish up to 18 inches have been recorded in recent years. The mayfly hatch is often spectacular when conditions are right.
