No deep water nearby

Severn Estuary sea wall on the Gwent Levels. Big tides; fish over high water for cod, thornback, conger, flounder, bass and sole.

Don't go if it looks unsafe or you can't get on legally. Marks can be dangerous, cut off by the tide, closed or on private land, and we can't check them. Look at the tide, the weather and any signs yourself, and tell someone where you're going. Safety and terms
