The Estuary

An Estuary of Contrasts

The Severn Estuary is a huge diverse area with fascinating natural, cultural and geographical features. These pages are designed to give you a flavour of the estuary and act as a resource for further study with links and contacts to other groups involved with the Estuary.

Why is it here?
The landscape and geology of the estuary, how it formed and how it is constantly changing.

The estuary as home
It's long history, which stretches back to prehistoric times, much of it revealed in detail by the quality of archaeological preservation. Its cultural development and relevance to modern life and the future.

Severn Wildlife
The diverse wildlife and habitats created by the confluence of land, river and sea. Why they are special and how are they protected?

Tidal Power Resource Page
Few people interested in the Severn estuary and the surrounding area can be unaware of the debate about harnessing the power of the tides. It is the biggest issue currently affecting the estuary and one which the Severn Estuary Partnership is keen to see properly debated.
