Planning a session in St Briavels, Gloucestershire? Start with Lydney Harbour, Shepperdine and Berkeley Shore. Switch between lures for summer shoals and ledger rigs over rough ground; the nearby marks below include distances, access notes and species tips.
4.1 miles from St Briavels
Historic small harbour on the Severn Estuary where the Lydney Canal meets the river. Expect extreme tidal range, fast currents and extensive mudflats; the fishable window is typically a couple of hours either side of high water from the stable upper walls only. Summer and early autumn bring the best...
6.1 miles from St Briavels
Shepperdine is a classic Severn Estuary shore mark north of Oldbury-on-Severn, offering powerful tides, deep gullies and the main channel running relatively close on bigger tides. It fishes best over the flood and first of the ebb, especially 2 hours either side of high on medium-to-large springs. Expect turbid water,...
6.7 miles from St Briavels
An exposed stretch of the upper Severn Estuary west of Berkeley with broad mud and sand flats cut by deep, fast-running channels. Huge tidal range, fierce currents and soft mud define the mark; fishing is best the last two hours of the flood and first hour of the ebb, especially...
6.7 miles from St Briavels
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...
6.8 miles from St Briavels
A productive Severn Estuary mark along the sea wall by Sharpness Docks/Marina. Expect a huge tidal range and powerful currents; most fishing is done around the last of the flood and first of the ebb or on neap tides. The bottom is predominantly soft mud with the main channel close...
6.8 miles from St Briavels
A small tidal pill opening onto the upper Severn Estuary just south of Sharpness. Expect fast currents, heavy silt and a huge tidal range; fishing is best around the last two hours of the flood and first of the ebb from firm ground near the pill walls/slipways. The water is...
