I count tides, big tides, among the sublime, and have enjoyed them in Alaska, New Zealand, France, here and elsewhere. Only one place, the Bay of Fundy, which we first saw in 1970, has bigger tides than Bristol Channel, which we saw in 2013.
Wildcamping.co.uk directed us to the great site at Ladye Bay, near Clevedon, and I blogged about it and the Channel tides at
http://roadeveron.blogspot.co.uk/2013/06/ladye-bay.html. We returned this year, mostly to see the tides again.

| The Clevedon pier from near where we parked |
 |
| The little cove and pebble beach, at something approaching high tide |
 |
| Bristol Channel shipping |
 |
| Part of the little coastal trail |
 |
| Sunset over Wales |

| Next morning, walking toward the pier |
 |
| Thus |
 |
| And thus, in Clevedon |
 |
| Low tide |
 |
| A hat rental store |
 |
| Seriously |
 |
| And a Victorian water fountain |
 |
| Thus |
 |
| The post box perhaps a bit younger |
 |
| The cove and beach at lower tide |
