During my very brief visit back home to the UK in July I visited the Purton Hulks on the Severn estuary .
The Purton hulks form the largest ships graveyard in the UK, beginning when several hulks were used in the early 20th century to shore up the bank between the Gloucester and Sharpness Canal and the River Severn, there are currently approximately 80 vessels located along the riverbank at Purton.










That sounds like such a fascinating spot to explore! There’s something haunting yet beautiful about old ship graveyards like the Purton Hulks. I’ve added it to my list for my next UK trip. I share more travel finds and hidden gems over at carolinatravelpop.com if you’d like to check it out!
