About

Severn Vale ward covers a large rural area on the eastern bank of the River Severn. The landscape is characterised by flat, low-lying farmland and several small villages, including Oldbury-on-Severn and Shepperdine. The land is primarily used for agriculture, with fields bounded by hedgerows and drainage ditches. The geography is dominated by the expansive views across the river estuary towards the Forest of Dean and the hills of Wales on the far side.

The area is defined by its relationship to the river and the presence of significant infrastructure. Oldbury Power Station, now being decommissioned, is a major landmark within the ward. The flat terrain is crossed by quiet country lanes connecting the settlements. The community is dispersed, with a focus on local village life. The tidal rhythms of the Severn estuary and the exposed, open skies are consistent features of the environment here.
