Severn Bore


"The Severn Bore is one of Britain's few truly spectacular natural phenomena. It is a large surge wave that can be seen in the estuary of the River Severn, where the tidal range is the 2nd highest in the world, being as much as 50 feet (approx. 15.4m)."

Words and image from The Severn Bore website (hope they don't mind )

The the incoming tides around equinoxes are the best time to see the bore...it really is worth seeing...and hearing. Time table is here
