Bullo Pill, Gloucestershire
This is a photo collection from my walk along the River Severn in Bullo Pill, Gloucestershire. It is a tiny village between Newnham-On-Severn and Lydney. I walked from the A48, over the railway bridge, past the dockyard, and up to “Box Grove Woods”.
Bullo Pill Docks
Bullo Pill was once an important port for coal and stone from the Forest of Dean. Use declined from the late 19th century, and the final cargo left the dock in 1926. Coal from here would go to Cardiff, Bristol, and Ireland, among many other destinations.

My walk
I was visiting friends to fix their computer and realised I hadn’t walked this part of the River Severn; I grabbed my camera and started my walk.
Walk Route
- I started from my friend’s house next to Bullo Pill docks. You can find the dock by coming off the A48 via the railway bridge.
- I headed downriver through the docks into some riverside farmland, enjoying views across the river to my usual walking ground near Arlingham.
- After a while, I reached a bridge crossing a small stream and entered Box Grove Woods.
- I walked to the top of the wooded area and then circled through the woods, heading back upstream.
Overall, it was a pleasant walk that included a mix of:
- Rivers
- Woodland
- Farmland
- Dockyard
- Wildlife
