The cache site overlooks the banks of the River Severn just north of the access point at Shepperdine. Near here, there was until quite recently a public house known as The Windbound (now demolished). Cars may be parked on the left at the end of the road. Walk up to the rivebank and turn right (north). After around 200 metres, look for the Severn Way logo on a gatepost. To the south you will be able to see both road bridges across the Severn. It's a peaceful spot with a good chance of seeing waders and migratory birds. Children and dogs need to be supervised owing to the proximity to the riverbank.
The Severn Way is a walking route that stretches along the entire Severn Valley, with a total length of 360.3 km (223.9 miles) and a high point of 605 metres (1,985 feet) above sea level. Starting on the wild Plynlimon plateau in mid-Wales, the route takes in Hafren Forest, Llanidloes, Newtown, Welshpool, Shrewsbury and Ironbridge before heading south through Worcester, Tewkesbury and Gloucester to Severn Beach. It then links along the Avon into Bristol City Centre via Lawrence Weston, Shirehampton and the Avon Gorge. The route is waymarked with a blue and white logo. The River Severn itself is 220 miles long (354 km) and is usually considered to be the longest in the UK. The river is said to become the Severn Estuary after the Second Severn Crossing. The Severn Bore is one of Britain's most spectacular natural phenomena. It is a large surge wave that can be seen along the River Severn, where the tidal range is the second highest in the world, being as much as 50 feet (approx. 15.4m).
The cache is hidden close to the gate and contains a leaflet explaining the aims and activities of the Forgotten Landscape project for the Lower Severn Vale Levels, a paper log-list, a pencil and a few extra little goodies which can be swapped.
