Part of the 270 mile National Cycle Route 45 runs alongside follows the SVR from [[Hampton Loade | Hampton Loade Station]] towards [[Country Park HaltSevern Valley]]. The Cycle Route leaves the SVR a short distance before between the HaltIronbridge Gorge and Bewdley, turning away into the main area of the Country Park. However a footpath continues to crossing the Halt itselfrailway twice.

The After following the disused trackbed from [[Ironbridge]], the route goes through the town of [[Bridgnorth]] before deviating away from the course of the river, returning to cross the railway at the [[Underbridge at Hampton Loade]]. It then follows the railway closely from [[Hampton Loade | Hampton Loade Station]] towards [[Country Park Halt]]. This part of the Cycle Route was built by Shropshire County Council in [[Severn Valley Railway Timeline 2000-2009#2003 | 2003]]. The SVR was initially opposed to its construction as it would be on the SVR’s land and in close proximity to the line. However agreement was reached after considerable discussion with the Council, and today the route is popular with both cyclists and walkers. The Cycle Route leaves the SVR a short distance before the Halt, turning away into the main area of the Country Park. However a footpath continues to the Halt itself. After passing through the Country Park, Route 45 crosses the railway again at [[Arley Station Bridge]], then enters the [[Wyre Forest]], where it follows the trackbed of the [[Wyre Forest Line]] towards [[Bewdley]].<br>Although no longer following the railway, the Cycle Route continues through [[Stourport]] and [[Hartlebury]].
