The River Severn has the second largest tidal range in the world. It also has the fifth largest bore of any river, and on 12th March 2005 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.
