Westbury-on-Severn is a country village in England that is the centre of the huge, rural parish, also called Westbury-on-Severn. The town is situated on the A48 road (in between Minsterworth as well as Newnham on Severn) and bounded by the River Severn to the south and also west. Westbury is likewise bounded to the West by the Newport to Gloucester train line, although Westbury does not have a railway station, the closest stations being Gloucester and also Lydney. Westbury is just over a mile long and has one only housing estate to the south of the primary A48 road which was created in the 1980s. The town likewise has a primary school, post office cum village store, a club "The Red Lion" and also doctor's surgical procedure and dentist surgical treatment. Geoff Sterry, a coal as well as strong gas seller, is likewise based in the town. Westbury drops within the Area of the Forest of Dean although the forest itself does not reach the village. The village has a big parish church, which is unique, as the steeple is not connected to the primary building because of a fire which burned down the old wooden building not long after the new steeple was finished. Within the patio of the church are several markings of crosses as well as full crosses made throughout the English Civil War. The north patio and north aisle are the earliest parts of the church, having actually been constructed around 1290. Just to the East of the village centre is the National Trust owned Westbury Court Garden.
