Purton is a small hamlet located on the western bank of the River Severn, within the Forest of Dean district of Gloucestershire, in the South West of England. Situated a few miles south of Gloucester, it lies on the eastern edge of the main Forest of Dean area, offering expansive views across the wide Severn Estuary. The hamlet is particularly notable for the Purton Hulks, a unique and historic collection of deliberately beached and abandoned vessels that form a fascinating boat graveyard, serving as a form of riverbank reinforcement. This distinctive maritime feature, coupled with its rural setting, defines much of Purton's local character and draws visitors interested in its unusual heritage.
