オルベストンでの周辺の簡単なハイキングとウォーキング

Great views of the Severn crossing and what a structure it is

When I visited here, it had been raining - a lot - and it was just drizzling during my walk. Not usually an issue! But I'd just like to mention that the pathways in the woods are rocky and very, very slippery when wet! So, just something to bear in mind when visiting 😊 (I cut my walk short, but I'd likely have carried on had I brought my hiking poles, for example).

Pit stop before the climb, you’ll need it. Friendly staff, replenished my water.

This was a refreshing rocky climb heading east. A small portion is muddy at the bottom after some rain.

A windswept stopping point for migratory birds, the area is much-loved by residents, birdwatchers, walkers and cyclists and offers incredible views north to the second Severn Crossing and south to the Avonmouth docks – Bristol's maritime portal to the rest of the world.

Severn Beach is a village on the Severn Estuary in South Gloucestershire, England. The eastern portal of the Severn Tunnel is on the outskirts of the village. The Severn footpath – on the sea wall – is part of the Severn Way that leads from Gloucester, Slimbridge and the Second Severn Crossing. Extensive sea defences have been constructed and this provides a popular walkway along its length. Originally, the Severn Way finished at Severn Beach, but it has been extended to Bristol.

Nice spot to stop for a brake

The large village of Almondsbury is split in two by Almondsbury Hill, which gives superb views across the Severn and its iconic bridges. To the north is picturesque Lower Almondsbury, where you'll find St Mary's Church and the rustic Bowl Inn. The upper part of the village is more modern and also has a pub: the Swan Inn.
