//Local Stuff /Westbury-on-Severn

Westbury offers several vantage points for watching the phenomenal "Severn Bore". Surfers and canoeists ride this amazing tidal wave as it rolls up the river. The not so energetic can watch the Bore from a local hostelry, while the energetic can climb Garden Cliff (bring wellington boots - because it is always muddy). At the foot of the cliff when the tide is out find fossils and sharks teeth or collect coprolites (fossilised dinosaur dung!), fool's gold, and the amazing "devil's toenails".

Visit the parish church with its detached tower built circa 1270 as a garrison or watchtower. The 14th Century spire is framed with a network of great oak beams and wooden shingles. The church is not earlier than 1300.
