Planning a session in Pope's Hill, Gloucestershire? Start with Broadoak, Newnham-on-Severn and Westbury-on-Severn. Switch between lures for summer shoals and ledger rigs over rough ground; the nearby marks below include distances, access notes and species tips.
2.5 miles from Pope's Hill
A tidal creek and foreshore on the west bank of the River Severn just south of Newnham. Bullo Pill has very strong tides, pronounced tidal bore effects and extensive soft mud. Fish from firm ground near the creek mouth and any remaining hard edges/old quay stonework rather than the mud....
3.5 miles from Pope's Hill
A classic upper Severn estuary mark at Lower Framilode with strong tides, steep mud banks and sections of stone floodwall/old quay. The water is highly coloured and brackish; fish the flood and first of the ebb for best results. Thin‑lipped mullet work the margins and any freshwater outfalls, flounder patrol...
4.2 miles from Pope's Hill
A tidal Severn estuary floodbank mark near Fretherne/Framilode. Fish from the top of the sea wall only—foreshore mud is dangerous and the Severn Bore and fast flood make this an advanced venue. Best on big spring tides, particularly the flood two hours up to high water and the first of...
4.3 miles from Pope's Hill
A classic upper Severn estuary bank mark on the west (Forest of Dean) side by the hamlet of Awre. Expect fast tides, heavy silt and mud, and powerful currents with the Severn Bore periodically surging through. Fish from firm ground beside the floodbank rather than the foreshore. Best results come...
4.6 miles from Pope's Hill
A classic upper Severn estuary bank at Longney with muddy foreshores and strong tidal flow influenced by the Severn Bore. Anglers fish from firm ground by the floodbank and timber cribs rather than the mud. Flounder dominate late autumn to spring; in warmer months schoolie bass and thin-lipped mullet appear....
4.6 miles from Pope's Hill
Saul Warth is a tidal Severn estuary saltmarsh and sea wall stretch near Frampton-on-Severn/Fretherne. It overlooks broad mudflats, gutters and creek mouths that flood and empty rapidly with the Severn’s huge tidal range. Anglers typically fish from firm ground along the sea wall or hard patches at the edge of...
