Aust is a small village and civil parish in South Gloucestershire, England, perched on the eastern bank of the Severn Estuary. It sits beneath the original Severn Bridge on the M48 and overlooks the historic Old Passage ferry site across to Beachley and Chepstow, with the estuary’s impressive tides and occasional Severn bore shaping the local scene.
The village retains a quiet, largely agricultural character with a mix of long‑standing residents and commuters working in Bristol and beyond; local interest points include the parish church of St John and the fossil‑bearing Aust Cliff, while the shift from ferry crossing to bridge reflects the area’s layered maritime and engineering history.
