Old Passage Gloucestershire Map

About Old Passage

Old Passage, a small Gloucestershire hamlet, carries the subtle tang of the Severn Estuary. It lies 7.2 km west of Thornbury (from Thornbury: bearing 260°T, OS grid ST 565 889), and is situated west of Aust village. The land here, gently sloping towards the great estuary, often catches the low, diffused light of the South West, casting a soft luminescence over the clustered dwellings. Its historical connection to the passage across the Severn, a vital crossing point in times past, imbues Old Passage with a sense of quiet endurance, a place where journeys once began and ended. The air, particularly on a clear day, can carry the distant cries of seabirds, a reminder of the maritime heritage that whispers through the landscape. Even the modest dwellings seem to absorb the wide, open skies, reflecting a certain stoicism born of the elements.
