About

Alveston, Olveston and the nearby Oldbury settlements sit on the western edge of South Gloucestershire, north of the Severn estuary. The area is a mix of small village centres, working farmland and a network of lanes and public footpaths that connect hamlets to Thornbury and the surrounding countryside. Local facilities include village halls, pubs and primary schools that serve long-established communities, while fields and hedgerows mark traditional parish boundaries. Regular bus routes and the A38 provide road links toward Bristol and the M5 without cutting through the village cores.

Oldbury-on-Severn lies closer to the tideline, where the estuary reveals wide expanses of mudflats and salt marsh at low water. The former Oldbury nuclear power station occupies a prominent site on the shore and remains a local landmark through its decommissioning phase. Birdwatching, shoreline walks and salt-tolerant grazing land are features of the coastal margin, while inland lanes lead back to village greens and parish churches that reflect the area’s rural pattern of settlement.
