Severn Beach is a small coastal village on the north bank of the Severn Estuary in South Gloucestershire, England, a short train ride from Bristol. Its shingle shore and wide mudflats sit beneath one of the largest tidal ranges in the world, with views across the estuary to Wales and the Severn Bridge, and the area is internationally important for wading birds and salt‑marsh habitats.
Historically a modest fishing and Victorian‑era seaside spot, the village is linked to the city by the Severn Beach Line and lies close to the industrial docks around Avonmouth, so many people commute while local life revolves around a handful of shops, pubs and outdoor pursuits such as sailing, kite‑surfing and birdwatching. The mix of coastal scenery, wildlife protection and nearby industry gives Severn Beach a distinctive, slightly rough‑and‑ready character.
