Welcome to Old Passage

Old Passage is a small village located in the county of Gloucestershire, England. It is situated on the banks of the River Severn and is known for its picturesque views and historic landmarks. The village is home to a number of old buildings, including the Old Passage Inn, which dates back to the 17th century. The inn is a popular spot for tourists and locals alike, offering traditional pub food and a warm, welcoming atmosphere.

One of the main attractions in Old Passage is the Severn Estuary, which is a designated Site of Special Scientific Interest. The estuary is home to a wide variety of wildlife, including seals, porpoises, and a range of bird species. Visitors can take a boat trip along the river to see the wildlife up close, or simply enjoy a leisurely stroll along the riverbank. The estuary is also a popular spot for fishing, with anglers coming from far and wide to try their luck in the waters.

Another popular attraction in Old Passage is the Old Passage Lighthouse, which was built in 1828 to guide ships through the treacherous waters of the Severn Estuary. The lighthouse is now a Grade II listed building and is open to the public for tours. Visitors can climb to the top of the lighthouse for stunning views of the surrounding area, and learn about the history of the lighthouse and its role in keeping ships safe on the river.
