The Severn Bridge is a motorway suspension bridge spanning the River Severn and River Wye between South Gloucestershire just north of Bristol in England, and South East Wales, via Beachley, Gloucestershire, a peninsula between the two rivers. It is the original Severn road crossing between England and Wales. It took three-and-a-half years to construct and replaced the Aust ferry.

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.
Because of the detour we had to cross the Severn River twice and had to pay a toll of £8.

It was raining when we arrived in Gloucester. Gloucester is a city and district in southwest England, the county city of Gloucestershire. Gloucester lies close to the Welsh border, on the River Severn, between the Cotswolds to the east and the Forest of Dean to the southwest.
Using the GPS we located a mosque in Gloucester. The Gloucester Muslim Welfare Association was established in the early 1960s, following the arrival of the first generation of Muslims in the city of Gloucester. The Association was responsible in making provision for facilities for Friday prayers as well as Religious School classes. The current purpose-built mosque was successfully unveiled in 1983 and became a landmark representing the emerging Muslim community.
