Westbury-on-Severn is a small riverside village and civil parish in the Forest of Dean district of Gloucestershire, England. Sitting beside the tidal reach of the River Severn and overlooking the Severn Estuary, it has a landscape of flood meadows, reedbeds and waterside paths that attract birdwatchers and walkers. The historic core includes a medieval parish church and a number of listed buildings, reflecting a long riverside history of trade and local agriculture.
Today the community remains largely rural, with farming, small local businesses and some commuters travelling to places such as Gloucester and Cheltenham. Village amenities like a pub and village hall help sustain a close-knit social life, while proximity to the woods of the Forest of Dean and the river offers plenty of outdoor recreation and a strong sense of place.
