Oldbury-upon-Severn is a small riverside parish in South Gloucestershire set on the east bank of the River Severn. Its character is shaped by mudflats, saltmarsh and wide estuary views across the Severn Estuary, making it a quiet draw for walkers and birdwatchers and a good vantage for the famous Severn Bore.
The community remains largely rural, with farming alongside residents who commute into Bristol and nearby towns. The skyline is marked by the decommissioning works at Oldbury nuclear power station, while the parish keeps a strong sense of history around sites such as St Arilda's Church, a small medieval church that underlines the village’s long-standing local identity.
