The Severn Bridge (Welsh: Pont Hafren), sometimes also called the Severn–Wye Bridge, is a motorway suspension bridge spanning the River Severn and River Wye between Aust, South Gloucestershire (just north of Bristol) in England, and Chepstow, Monmouthshire in South East Wales, via Beachley, Gloucestershire, a peninsula between the two rivers. It is the original Severn road crossing between England and Wales and took three and half years[3] to construct at a cost of £8 million.[4] It replaced the Aust ferry.

The bridge was opened on 8 September 1966, by Queen Elizabeth II, who hailed it as the dawn of a new economic era for South Wales. The bridge was granted Grade I listed status on 26 November 1999.[5]

From 1966 to 1996, the bridge carried the M4 motorway. Upon the completion of the Second Severn Crossing, the motorway from Olveston (England) to Magor (Wales) was renamed the M48.

"Fantastic base for our trip to Longleat. Plenty of off road parking and Pauline and Nigel made us feel very welcome. Water and milk was ready in the fridge on our arrival and the microwave and toaster came in really handy. There was also the supercar storage facility nearby that do food and also the George pub about 15-20 minutes walk away which was a lovely walk (albeit in the middle of a heatwave)."

Lovely Cotswolds farm house on an award winning vineyard with stunning views

South Woodchester

"This is such a unique property situated on a vineyard with beautiful views. It is very comfortable and is perfect for 4 people. Our family has stayed here three times as we visit from America and have family in the area. The kitchen is large and well equipped to host them for a meal. We did have an issue with a leaking faucet, but it was addressed right away and with no inconvenience to us. Great property and highly recommend!"

Luxuriously renovated farmhouse with hot tub

Pylle

"The premises were exceptional. Every room was clean and tidy and decorated to a very high standard. Every need was catered for and Paul was especially helpful when showing us around on arrival. I have previously read reviews saying the guests had not wanted to return home and can say in all honesty that this was the first time I had experienced that feeling but share their sentiments whole heartedly. What a magnificant property and by all accounts the other property is equally...

"Excellent accommodation and a really nicely renovated building. The rooms were spacious and in immaculate condition with an excellent range of facilities. I was on business in the area for the week and the owner kindly welcomed me and provided delicious breakfasts each morning. I will certainly stay again when I return to the area, be it for business or for a weekend away in the future. Wonderful!"
