The Severn Bridge (Welsh: Pont Hafren), sometimes also called the Severn–Wye Bridge, is a motorway suspension bridge spanning the River Severn and River Wye between Aust, South Gloucestershire (just north of Bristol) in England, and Chepstow, Monmouthshire in South East Wales, via Beachley, Gloucestershire, a peninsula between the two rivers. It is the original Severn road crossing between England and Wales and took three and half years[3] to construct at a cost of £8 million.[4] It replaced the Aust ferry.

The bridge was opened on 8 September 1966, by Queen Elizabeth II, who hailed it as the dawn of a new economic era for South Wales. The bridge was granted Grade I listed status on 26 November 1999.[5]

From 1966 to 1996, the bridge carried the M4 motorway. Upon the completion of the Second Severn Crossing, the motorway from Olveston (England) to Magor (Wales) was renamed the M48.

Cottage, 2 Bedrooms (Little Paradise) | Exterior

"We had a lovely stay at Little Paradise, Greyfield Farm Cottages! The cottage was immaculate, cosy and had lots of amenities to make our stay feel just like being at home. We were able to bring our dog due to the cottages being dog friendly which meant our little pup also had a lovely weekend away with us.

"A wonderful stay in a beautiful and thoughtfully designed property. Even the Wisteria was in bloom for my stay !"

"We had a wonderful stay, we all slept wonderfully, it was immaculate and the hot tub was perfect for star gazing."

"Beautiful cosy cottage with many period features and stunning Wye Valley view.The drive up is scary - a hairpin bend that can only be done in first gear and reversing up the hill to get into the parking spot. Much wheel spin happened while we got used to it! 4X4 recommended.NB - there is a TV but no satellite box so get used to watching in real time again or light the fire and watch the flames.Bring your own extra loo roll, sharp knife and tin opener and be prepared for fridge tetris.So quiet...

"Overall this was a good stay, rooms were nice and clean and there was plenty of space for 10 adults to stay. However, both ovens failed to heat properly which made cooking a bit of a pain. Check in process was not great, only being able to arrive between 5-6, the owner did not respond to any prior messages. Despite this, the local area was stunning, and the house was fit for purpose and good value considering the price of other locations in the area for a group this size."
