Plenty of mud showing. I turn away from the new bridge and walk onwards. I walk up the lane, towards a small collection of houses. This is Old Passage. But the weather is great for walking today. Sunny spells. Not too hot. And not a breath of wind. I leave Beachley behind and begin crossing water again.

Blog at WordPress. The 17th century country inn has a fine interior with cosy fires for colder days. Outside there's a lovely garden area if the weather is fine.
You can find them at a postcode of BS35 4AX for your sat navs. The inn is also very dog friendly with water bowls and treats readily available for your canine friend. Another popular route in the area is the Severn Beach Walk. This starts from the train station in the village and heads along the sea wall path to the bridge. The walkway has excellent views over the Severn Estuary where you can look out for wildlife including Balearic shearwaters, skua, peregrine falcons and seals.
Head north along the river and you could pick up the Oldbury on Severn Walk. This takes you from the little village to the historic Berkeley castle which dates back to the 12th century. This path may not accessible for all. You can check the tide times here. You can see blue skies, the bridge and the coast of Wales in the distance. As there was some construction, I had to walk over the beach and over the river bank boulders in order to carry on the pathway to the bridge. But, even then, the walk only took around minutes to reach the Prince of Wales bridge.
Mainly as I kept taking lots of photos! Unfortunately, no. The Prince of Wales Bridge is strictly for cars and there is no pedestrian pathway on the bridge that allows you to cross over it on foot.
However, if you were keen to walk over the river Severn from England into Wales it is possible just a few miles away from Severn Beach. The original Severn Bridge Crossing suspension bridge was built in which replaced the Aust Ferry and is a popular walking trail and cycling route. The easiest way to access this walk would be to park in the village of Aust or the Aust Services, then walk over the Severn bridge from there.
The original Severn bridge crossing from England to Wales is 2 miles. You can then carry on your walk to the historic town of Chepstow! Once you cross under the bridge, you can carry on the path through to the other side of Severn Beach. I only walked a little way on the Heritage Trail to the end of the estuary path and then made my way back.
But, it was incredibly scenic. There were lots of green fields with poppies and cows grazing, farmhouses, benches to enjoy the views and some signs with information about the forgotten Severn Beach resort. There is a sign to remember the Terminal Pier station where people would get the train heading to Portskewett. The station was also abandoned and destroyed following the creation of the Severn Rail Tunnel. Also, this Masonry pier acted as Ferry Stop for those day trippers who would arrive at Severn Beach by steam boat.
This muddy area is actually like an international service station for birds who are flying over the Atlantic! There have been over types of birds recorded here. You should avoid walking on the salt marsh and meadows.
It first opened its doors in during the time of the pleasure resort and has been serving up lunch and cream teas to happy customers ever since. They have all sorts of home baked goodies to enjoy with a tea or coffee. All the areas around Severn Beach are dog friendly. I saw lots of dogs walking on the beach here without leads.
