Overview

Leaving the coastal path we head off to the Village of Aust. From here we follow footpaths across fields towards Northwick and North Worthy Farm, before slowly turning back towards the Severn Estuary where there are good views across the estuary and wetlands. Whilst having lunch, some may wish to add a short detour to walk below the Prince of Wales Bridge. We then follow the Severn Way back to the start.
