9.0 miles from Kingswood (Stroud)
Tidal estuary mark on the Severn beside the Oldbury power station outfall. The scoured channel holds depth even on big ebbs, and the mixing flow creates current seams that draw baitfish and predators. Expect extreme tides, heavy silt, and fierce cross-currents; neaps are more manageable. Best two hours either side...

Historic ships’ graveyard on the Severn estuary bank, opposite Sharpness. You fish from the sea wall/embankment above soft mud and the beached hulks.

Strong tidal flow and heavy silt demand wired leads and short, well-timed sessions...

A powerful tidal rock and clay ledge on the Beachley peninsula of the Severn Estuary, locally known as The Noose, just upstream of the Severn Bridge on the Gloucestershire side. Fished mainly over the ebb and first push of the flood around low water, it has a deep, fast-running gutter...
