Two Rivers Way

The Two Rivers Way is 33.47 km long and is generally treated as a 2-day walk. HiiKER’s estimated moving time is about 7 hours 20 minutes, but most walkers split it into shorter stages to allow for gates, field paths, village stops, and navigation through the Yeo and Chew valleys.

The Two Rivers Way is graded Easy, with 389 m of total elevation gain over 33.47 km. That points to a long but relatively gentle multi-day route rather than a steep hill walk, with the main challenge coming from distance and time on foot rather than sustained climbing.

The Two Rivers Way runs between Congresbury and Keynsham in Somerset. The route follows the River Yeo from Congresbury, then continues through the Chew Valley toward Keynsham, where it meets the River Avon and links with the River Avon Trail.

The Two Rivers Way passes through a string of Somerset settlements including Congresbury, Chew Stoke, Chew Magna, Compton Dando, and Keynsham. That makes it practical for breaking the walk into sections, with several points where road access and village facilities are closer to the route.

Yes. At 33.47 km with 389 m of ascent, the Two Rivers Way is well suited to a 2-day itinerary. The route is long enough to feel like a proper short break, but its easy grading and valley-based line make it more manageable than many upland multi-day trails of similar length.

The Two Rivers Way follows river landscapes through North Somerset, linking the River Yeo, the River Chew, and finally the River Avon at Keynsham. Walkers can expect lowland countryside, farmland, riverside sections, bridges, and historic villages rather than exposed moorland or mountain terrain.
