Text of the page (random words):
dflats 14 the severn estuary and most of the embayments around the channel are less than 30 ft 9 m deep within the channel however there is an east west valley 65 100 ft 20 30 m deep which is thought to have been formed by fluvial run off during pleistocene phases of lower sea level 15 along the margins of the bristol channel are extensive linear tidal sandbanks which are dredged for aggregates in the outer bristol channel off the welsh coast are the obel sands an extensive area of sand waves up to 62 ft 19 m high covering more than 400 mi 2 1 036 km 2 16 ecology edit the channel as seen from barry wales the bristol channel coast at ilfracombe north devon looking west towards lee bay with lundy in the distance the bristol channel is an important area for wildlife in particular waders and has protected areas including national nature reserves such as bridgwater bay at the mouth of the river parrett at low tide large parts of the channel become mud flats due to the tidal range of 43 ft 13 m 17 frequently stated to be second only to the bay of fundy in eastern canada 18 19 but smaller than those at ungava bay also in canada 20 development schemes have been proposed along the channel including an airport and a tidal barrier for electricity generation but conservation issues have so far managed to block such schemes the largest islands in the bristol channel are lundy steep holm and flat holm which are mostly uninhabited and protected as nature reserves and are home to some unique wild flower species in 1971 a proposal was made by the lundy field society to establish a marine reserve provision for the establishment of statutory marine nature reserves was included in the wildlife and countryside act 1981 and on 21 november 1986 the secretary of state for the environment announced the designation of a statutory reserve at lundy 21 there is an outstanding variety of marine habitats and wildlife and a large number of rare and unusual species in the waters around lundy including some species of seaweed branching sponges sea fans and cup corals 22 the bristol channel has some extensive and popular beaches and spectacular scenery particularly on the coasts of exmoor and bideford bay in north devon and the vale of glamorgan and gower peninsula on the glamorgan coast the western stretch of exmoor boasts hangman cliffs the highest cliffs in mainland britain culminating near combe martin in the great hangman a 1 043 ft 318 m hog backed hill with a cliff face of 820 ft 250 m its sister cliff the little hangman has a cliff face of 716 ft 218 m on the gower peninsula at its western extremity is the worms head a headland of carboniferous limestone which is approachable on foot at low tide only the beaches of gower at rhossili for example and north devon such as croyde and woolacombe win awards for their water quality and setting as well as being renowned for surfing in 2004 the times travel magazine selected barafundle bay in pembrokeshire as one of the twelve best beaches in the world in 2007 oxwich bay made the same magazine s top 12 best beaches in the world list and was also selected as britain s best beach for 2007 coastal cities and towns edit the bristol channel looking south from llantwit major near barry on the glamorgan coast satellite view of the bristol channel the city of swansea is the largest settlement on the welsh coast of the bristol channel other major built up areas include barry including barry island port talbot and llanelli smaller resort towns include porthcawl mumbles saundersfoot and tenby the cities of cardiff and newport adjoin the severn estuary on the english side the resort towns of weston super mare burnham on sea watchet minehead and ilfracombe are located on the bristol channel barnstaple and bideford are sited on estuaries opening onto bideford bay at the westernmost end of the bristol channel within the severn estuary are clevedon portishead and the city of bristol the port of bristol originally established inland on the river avon in the centre of the city but now with larger commercial deep water docks on the severn estuary is one of the busiest ports in britain navigation edit there are no road or rail crossings of the bristol channel so direct crossings are necessarily made by sea or air or less directly by the road and rail crossings of the severn estuary the channel can be a hazardous area of water because of its strong tides and the rarity of havens on the north devon and somerset coasts that can be entered in all states of the tide because of the treacherous waters pilotage is an essential service for shipping a specialised style of sailing boat the bristol channel pilot cutter developed in the area paddle steamers edit p a campbell based in bristol was the main operator of pleasure craft particularly paddle steamers from the mid 19th century to the late 1970s together with the barry railway company these served harbours along both coasts such as ilfracombe and weston super mare this tradition is continued each summer by the ps waverley the last seagoing paddle steamer in the world built in 1947 the steamer provides pleasure trips between the welsh and english coasts and to the islands of the channel trips are also offered on the mv balmoral also owned by waverley excursions marine rescue services edit the burnham on sea area rescue boat barb uses a hovercraft to rescue people from the treacherous mud flats on that part of the coast 23 a hovercraft was recently when tested to determine the feasibility of setting up a similar rescue service in weston super mare citation needed there are also rnli lifeboats stationed along both sides of the channel in the severn estuary in shore rescue is provided by two independent lifeboat trusts the severn area rescue association sara and the portishead and bristol lifeboat trust 24 renewable energy edit main article severn barrage the bristol channel and severn estuary have the potential to generate more renewable electricity than any other in the uk it has been stated that it would contribute significantly to uk climate change goals and european union renewable energy targets earlier studies of a possible severn barrage included estimates of bed load transport of sand and gravel by tidal ebb and flood that would be interrupted if a solid dam were built across the channel 25 more recently the severn tidal power feasibility study was launched in 2008 by the british government to assess all tidal range technologies including barrages lagoons and others 26 the study will look at the costs benefits and impacts of a severn tidal power scheme and will help government decide whether it could or could not support such a scheme some of the options being looked at may include a road crossing downstream of the existing crossings of the estuary 1607 flood edit main article bristol channel floods 1607 on 30 january 1607 new style thousands of people were drowned houses and villages swept away farmland inundated and flocks destroyed when a flood hit the shores of the channel the devastation was particularly bad on the welsh side from laugharne in carmarthenshire to above chepstow on the english border cardiff was the most badly affected town there remain plaques up to 8 ft 2 4 m above sea level to show how high the waters rose on the sides of the surviving churches it was commemorated in a contemporary pamphlet god s warning to the people of england by the great overflowing of the waters or floods the cause of the flood is uncertain and disputed it had long been believed that the floods were caused by a combination of meteorological extremes and tidal peaks but research published in 2002 showed some evidence of a tsunami in the channel 27 although some evidence from the time describes events similar to a tsunami there are also similarities to descriptions of the 1953 floods in east anglia which were caused by a storm surge it has been shown that the tide and weather at the time were capable of generating such a surge 28 religion edit in 1835 john ashley was on the shore at clevedon with his son who asked him how the people on flat holm could go to church for the next three months ashley voluntarily ministered to the population of the island from there he recognised the needs of the seafarers on the four hundred sailing vessels in the bristol channel and created the bristol channel mission he raised funds and in 1839 a specially designed mission cutter was built with a main cabin which could be converted into a chapel for 100 people this later became first initiative of the mission to seafarers 29 recreation edit surfing edit much of the coastline at the western end of the bristol channel faces west towards the atlantic ocean the heritage coasts of the vale of glamorgan bideford bay and gower are along with the atlantic coasts of pembrokeshire and cornwall prominent areas for surfing across the whole of britain although overshadowed by the atlantic coasts of north cornwall and west pembrokeshire both gower and bideford bay have several breaks notably croyde in bideford bay and langland bay on gower windsurfing across the channel edit the first known crossing of the bristol channel from swansea to woody bay near lynton devon by a windsurfer was adam cowles in april 2006 30 apparently accidentally other windsurfers have reported making the crossing as a training exercise hugh sim williams 31 or as part of a windsurf around britain e g jono dunnett 32 the coastguard has stated that windsurf crossings of the channel are dangerous and should not be attempted without appropriate preparations 30 walking edit the high quality of the landscape of much of both coasts of the bristol channel means that they are popular destinations for walkers sections of two national trails the south west coast path and the pembrokeshire coast path follow these shores and the west somerset coast path extends eastwards from the south west coast path to the mouth of the river parrett a continuous coastal path the wales coast path was opened in may 2012 along the entire welsh shore under the auspices of the countryside council for wales swimming records edit first person to swim across the bristol channel edit the first person to swim across the bristol channel was kathleen thomas a 21 year old woman from penarth who swam to weston super mare on 5 september 1927 she completed the swim nominally 11 miles but equivalent to 22 miles because of tidal flows in 7 hours 20 minutes in 2007 the achievement was marked by a plaque on the seafront at penarth 33 there is also a plaque at anchor head in weston super mare youngest person to swim across the bristol channel edit in 1929 edith parnell a 16 year old schoolgirl emulated kathleen thomas s swim from penarth to weston super mare in 10 hours 15 minutes citation needed edith later became the first wife of hugh cudlipp the welsh journalist and newspaper editor 33 34 ilfracombe to swansea edit the first person to swim the 30 5 nmi 56 5 km 35 1 mi from ilfracombe to swansea was gethin jones who achieved the record on 13 september 2009 taking nearly 22 hours 35 penarth to clevedon edit the youngest person to swim from penarth to clevedon is gary carpenter who in august 2007 at the age of 17 completed the crossing in 5 hours 35 minutes he held the record for the fastest swim across the bristol channel until 2020 carpenter s coach steve price was the first person to swim from penarth to clevedon in 1990 36 in 2020 joanne jones swam from penarth to clevedon in a time of 5 hours 27 minutes joanne was the first woman to swim this route and holds the current record for fastest time 37 references edit the sixteenth century geographer roger barlow
