  • The Severn Bore
    The Severn Bore I had done my Bore homework (checking the timetables, watching YouTube videos, even logging in to Bore surfers’ forums to get the latest gossip of where to watch and surf the river wave). But, by the time the crest of water surged into view from our riverbank viewing point at Arlingham, all prior knowledge fell away during what was a much more exhilarating, raw and absorbing experience than I had prepared for. A moving wall of water, surging against the downstream flow of the river at a conjuncture of time and tide, channeled by the land either side until, with nowhere to go, the energy behind the surge forms into a wave? This truly was a natural spectacle. Carpark preparations at Arlingham. Photo: Marianna Dudley This was the second Team Power and Water trip to watch the bore, and my first. Over the next two years I am investigating our seemingly insatiable and imaginative need to turn to water for recreation, and the hardy river surfers of the Severn are a group that I want to connect with, talk to, and understand in a historical context. I grew up in Cornwall and have surfed for years; I know the unique rewards of climbing into wetsuits and braving cold seas through winter. But, stood, shivering, on the riverbank watching men dressed head-to-toe in Getting down the riverbank is tricky. Photo: Marianna Dudley rubber sliding, inelegantly but necessarily, on their bottoms down the muddy bank and entering the brown river water, I admit that I wondered why they did it.

  • Marine Safety in the Severn Estuary & Lower
    Marine Safety in the Severn Estuary & Lower Wye A Guide to Safe Navigation for Small Craft and Notes for River Bank Users (Updated May 2017) INTRODUCTION TO THE SEVERN ESTUARY The Severn Estuary can be a dangerous place, with shifting sands, a rapid rise of tide and strong tidal currents. Those who use the estuary need to be aware of the dangers and ready to deal with them safely. Since 1889 the Gloucester Harbour Trustees have regulated navigation and provided aids in the estuary to assist in the safe passage of all craft, whether commercial shipping or sailing dinghies. We have produced this guide to help all users of the estuary to understand the hazards and to know what to look out for, what to avoid and how to respond in an emergency. We hope that the information will be a useful contribution to the continued safe use of the estuary. The Gloucester Harbour is the formal name given to a defined area for which the Gloucester Harbour Trustees is the conservancy, harbour and local lighthouse authority. This area includes the River Severn and its estuary, extending from the Maisemore and Llanthony weirs near Gloucester, to lines seaward of the Second Severn Crossing. The River Wye as far as Bigsweir Bridge also falls within this area. 2 INDEX TO SECTIONS 1 General Safety Considerations 2 General Advice to Vessels 3 Tidal Considerations 4 Safety of Small Craft and Canal Craft 5 Conduct of Vessels 6 The River Severn between the Second Severn Crossing and Sharpness Dock 7 The River Severn between Sharpness Dock and Gloucester 8 The River

  • The River Severn
    The River Severn (Welsh: Afon Hafren) Photos from source to mouth The River Severn, like all rivers, provide us with food, energy, recreation, transportation routes, and water for irrigation and for drinking. Join Winnie the Pooh and friends as they journey down the River Severn from source to sea and discover exciting facts and information about the river. Introduction to the River Severn The River Severn seeps out of the earth in a peat bog in the Cambrian Mountains of Wales. Pooh and friends at the source of the Severn Facts about the Source of the River Severn peat bog location Plynlimon, Cambrian Mountains, Wales elevation 610 m (2,001 ft) coordinates 52.493465°N 3.734578°W Two hundred and twenty miles (354km) and four counties later, it is swallowed by the Bristol Channel and eventually the Atlantic Ocean. The friends are amazed at the enormous size of the mouth of the River Severn Facts about the Mouth of the River Severn location Bristol Channel, England elevation 0 m (0 ft) size over five miles wide The River Severn is 6 miles (10 km) longer than the River Thames, making it the longest river in Great Britain. It flows in a semi-circular route through the Welsh county of Powys and the English counties of Shropshire, Worcestershire and Gloucestershire. Interesting River Severn facts As well as the River Severn, two other rivers have their source on the mountain - the rivers Wye and Rheidol. The Severn's name is derived from the Latin word Sabrina, previously "Hafren" in Welsh, which means "boundary".

THE SEVERN BORE IN 1993 NRA National Rivers Authority The National Rivers Authority In common with a few other rivers a tidal wave, or bore, occurs in the lower reaches The Severn Bore of the River Severn during high tides. For a bore to form, a considerable rise in tide is in 1993 needed and a converging channel with a rising bed, ie funnel-shaped.

  • A Legal Geography of the River Severn
    CHANGING LANDSCAPES: A LEGAL GEOGRAPHY OF THE RIVER SEVERN by CAROLINE ADELAIDE BUFFERY A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY School of Geography, Earth and Environmental Sciences, The University of Birmingham August 2015 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

Further distribution or reproduction in any format is prohibited without the permission of the copyright holder. Abstract Debates in legal geography have highlighted that there is a need to develop a more creative approach in order to understand the intersections between law and geography. This paper proposes that this imbrication can be investigated by using a Sequent Legal Occupance (SLO) method of analysis in legal geography research. By modifying Whittlesey’s notion of sequent occupance, the study historically and chronologically investigates River Severn in relation to two activities, navigation and fishing, to understand the correlation between law and geography as a process of mutual constitution. It identifies the ways in which law has been present within the landscape in terms of ‘occupance’ and ‘impress’ to indicate the complex, multi layered and multi-dimensional ways in which law and geography are woven together in a particular setting.
