Severn bank near Awre

Looking north-east, erosion is a factor with this stretch of the estuary's north coast.

North bank of the Severn

With the remains of an old groyne being uncovered in receding tide. In the distance right is Berkeley Power Station. Thanks to a suggestion by another member. A minor amendment to the description, this is in fact the remains of a salmon fishing putcher rank or a fix engine for salmon fishing. (May 2012)

Stop-net boats at Gatcombe, near Blakeney, Forest of Dean

These old stop-net boats are some of the last remaining stop-net boats that once plied the Severn Estuary for Salmon. Unfortunately they are no longer in very good condition!

Liable to Tidal Flooding

...is the warning on the sign. This part of Gloucestershire is at risk when the tidal waters of the Severn are at their highest. The Severn has one of the largest tidal ranges in the world.

Farmland

This farm is situated between the river Severn and the railtrack that runs between Gloucester and Lydney. The track is to the right over the hedgerow. The farmhouse is 1/2Km from the river. After passing the farmhouse the track runs alongside the Severn for 4.5Kms.
