Pilning

England

Pilning is a small South Gloucestershire village positioned strategically where the M4 crosses into Wales via the Severn Bridge. Accessible directly from M4 Junction 21, it serves primarily long-distance traffic on the England-Wales corridor, with local connections to Shirehampton 12km away. The village sits beside the Severn Estuary with over 200 EV charging points nearby. Remarkably, Pilning's tiny railway station handles mainline Paddington-to-Wales services, making it vastly over-specified for its population.
