The eastern portal of the Severn Tunnel is on the outskirts of the village. The Severn footpath{{spaced ndash}}on the sea wall{{spaced ndash}}is part of the Severn Way that leads from Gloucester, Slimbridge and the Second Severn Crossing. Extensive sea defences have been constructed in recent years and this provides a popular walkway along its length. Originally, the Severn Way finished at Severn Beach, but it has recently been extended to Bristol.[2][3] The village is part of the Filton and Bradley Stoke Parliamentary constituency and is represented by the Conservative MP, Jack Lopresti. HistoryBefore the Great Western Railway arrived in 1900, the area was farmland. In 1922, the village became a seaside resort with a swimming pool called the "Blue Lagoon", a boating lake, dozens of fun-fare stalls, donkey rides (on grass) and the Beach Comber Strip Club, mostly by local entrepreneur Robert Stride. Many people came from nearby Bristol because Severn Beach had less strict licensing laws. With its era as a holiday and pleasure resort ending in the 1970's, many of the shops have also closed however the convenience store and bakery still trade. Severn Beach has a Post Office at 103 Beach Road. The village pub was demolished to make way for housing. The Blue Lagoon swimming pool was demolished in the 1980's in favour of creating more open space and some housing. It was during this time that the train station was demolished to make way for new housing leaving just the platform. The boating lake has been filled in and landscaped and now forms part of Severn Beach Park. The Severn Bridges Visitor Centre was opened in 1998 following the completion of the Second Severn Crossing at the end of Shaft Road, off Green Lane. Run by the Severn Bridges Trust and housing an exhibition showing the history of the river crossings using interactive displays, video films, pictures, models and descriptions, it closed in 2008. EcologyThe coastline at Severn Beach is a Site of Special Scientific Interest and has a diverse range of wildlife, varying from seals to peregrine falcons. There have been more than 251 species of bird recorded in the Severn Beach area and it is of international importance for migrating and wintering birds. As of 1990, 28 species of seabird had been recorded in the Severn Beach/New Passage area, including sooty and Balearic shearwaters, all four Northern Hemisphere skuas, seven species of tern and four species of alcid. Severn Beach offers excellent conger fishing from the shore in the winter.[4][5][6] TransportThe village is at the terminus of the Severn Beach Line railway, with a small unstaffed station. The line used to loop northwards to join the main Cardiff to Bristol line at Pilning railway station in the direction of Bristol, but this section was closed in 1964 and the trackbed has been built over. Train services are operated by Great Western Railway; 11 trains per weekday with an average journey time between Severn Beach and Bristol Temple Meads railway station of 41 minutes. The fastest journey time is 36 minutes. Severn Beach has no through roads and is therefore free from heavy traffic. The village is currently once again served by buses of Wessex Connect on Monday to Saturday and Stagecoach providing services on Sunday. The village is close to the A403 that runs from junction 1 of the M48 at Aust to the docks at Avonmouth. EducationPrimary education is provided by Severn Beach Primary School at Ableton Lane, Severn Beach. There are no senior schools in Severn Beach.
