We are the Bristol Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.
7.5 mile flat circular walk starting at 10.30am and finishing by mid-afternoon, on the relatively remote Gwent Levels on the Welsh side of the River Severn, roughly opposite Portishead
The walk takes us from near the village of Goldcliff, inland across country roads, paths and fields to the quiet village of Redwick. Several stiles on the route. From there, we head to the banks of the Mouth of the River Severn, with spectacular views over to Portishead and Clevedon, and along the Welsh coast. We then follow the Wales Coastal Path back to the start of the walk. This section of the walk will of course be exposed to the elements.
May be muddy in places. We will have two coffee stops, so please bring refreshments for yourself as the walk will finish mid-afternoon.
Note 1 : there are no cafes/pubs or toilets on the route.
Note 2 : 10:30 start time.
Starting Point: park on the grass verges near the seawall at the end of Clifton Common (no through road), adjacent to Elm Tree Farm. OS Explorer Map 152, OS reference 375824 Route by Car from Bristol: take the newer M4 Severn Bridge and exit at junction 23A. Turn left along the A4810 signed for Magor, and then for Newport, for nearly 2 miles. Just beyond the roundabout leading into the business park, turn left for Redwick. Almost immediately, turn right for Goldcliff. Follow this meandering country road for about 4 miles eventually through the dispersed village of Whitson. Instead of turning right into the village of Goldcliff, carry straight on along the lesser road, Clifton Common, towards the seawall. Approximately 50 minutes by car from Bristol. Please car share, where possible
