.: 1 march 2006 :.

The River Severn has the second largest tidal range in the world. It also has the fifth largest bore of any river, and on 1st March 2006 it was rated 4* (large). We went to Gloucestershire to check it out.
To find out more about the Severn Bore (and the Trent Aegir), visit the Environment Agency's page here.
