A Summer Journey

Series 1 Episode 4: The Severn: Crossing and Docking

Angela Rippon explores the stretch of the Severn between Shepperdine and the mouth of the Avon, where people have crossed not only in ferries and over a bridge, but even on their own two feet. She discusses industrial pollution of the estuary and sees how its bed is regularly charted so that ships can navigate in and out of port.
