.: 30 & 31 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 both 30th and 31st 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.
