Clapton Pill is a small tidal creek located in Gloucestershire, England. It is situated near the village of Clapton and flows into the River Severn estuary. The creek is surrounded by lush greenery and offers stunning views of the surrounding countryside.

At high tide, Clapton Pill is filled with water, creating a serene and peaceful atmosphere. As the tide recedes, the creek transforms into a muddy, marshy landscape with exposed mudflats and salt marshes. This ever-changing environment is home to a variety of wildlife, including birds, fish, and other marine creatures.

Clapton Pill is a popular spot for birdwatching and nature enthusiasts, who come to observe the diverse range of bird species that inhabit the area. The creek is also a great location for fishing and crabbing, attracting anglers and families looking for a fun day out.

Overall, Clapton Pill offers a tranquil escape from the hustle and bustle of city life, allowing visitors to immerse themselves in nature and enjoy the peaceful surroundings of this picturesque tidal creek in Gloucestershire.
