About

Pilning & Severn Beach ward lies on the low-lying land along the eastern bank of the River Severn. The area is dominated by the extensive infrastructure of the Severnside industrial complex, including large warehouses and distribution centres. The landscape is largely flat and open, shaped by the tidal river and its historic floodplains. The M49 motorway and main railway line to South Wales create significant transport corridors through the ward.

The village of Severn Beach itself is a linear settlement facing the wide estuary, known for its long, exposed promenade. The area is directly affected by the tidal range of the Severn, one of the highest in the world. Remnants of the old Pilning railway station and the presence of the massive Severn Bridge crossing anchor the ward to its functional role within the region. Residential areas are concentrated in the villages, with large tracts given to industry and open, marshy ground.
