I have not been for a few years but this is what I do
I view from the west side of the river
1.Newnham Churchyard - far end. I watch from the top of the cliff as it sweeps across the mud flats.
or from the carpark at the bottom of the main street.
2. Off to the Severn Bore Inn www.pubs2000.com/severnbore_index.htm
As soon as the bore has passed quickly off towards Gloucester
3.the road runs close to the river( hidden by a high bank) park on the roadside & nip across the field ond up onto the bank.
Many watch from Over bridge by Gloucester.
4. My final favourite (please do not pass on the info)
I park Just sort of Maisemore and walk across the fields to the little weir.
This is where the bore ends. Watch the weir get drowned. It is silenced and hopefully you can then hear the birdsand the surfers have given up by then!!!
IMO the noise from surfers and the speedboats detracts from the the event. One of the reasons I like to observe it at night but I understand that the surfers are messing that up too.
