Stunning views, unexpected histories, fossils, friendly villages and genuine natural wonder can be found in the Severn Vale.

Its big skies and ever-changing riverside contrast with commuter towns and imposing industrial infrastructure. At first glance it could be easy to bypass this forgotten landscape, but get out and explore, dig a little deeper and prepare to be hooked.

You’ll be amazed at the abundance of wildlife at Lamplighter’s Marsh, humbled by the range of colours and discoveries to make at Aust Cliff, delighted by the tin tabernacle at Shepperdine and fascinated by the hidden history of Severn Beach.
