Surfers ride the spectacular 'four-star' Severn Bore in Gloucestershire. The bore, a large surge wave, is formed in the estuary of the River Severn, where the tidal range is the second highest in the world, and is caused when the incoming tide is funnelled into an increasingly narrow channel against the current of the river. | Coventry Live
