Drone footage has captured stunning scenes of Tewkesbury Abbey surrounded by floodwater.
The Norman Abbey, built nearly 1,000 years ago, sits on slightly raised ground which protected it from the worst of the flood.
Tewkesbury, which lies on the River Severn, has seen sporadic flooding over the years.

I'm very fond of Tewkesbury Abbey. Consecrated I think in 1121, most of that building is still there, with a 14th century Choir inserted. It had to be reconsecrated in 1471 after the Battle of Tewkesbury took place within its walls. Important nobles are buried there, including some who perished in unfortunate ways!

I don't know what's worse, royalty free sounding danger report music or budget pomp orchestra? "Ah lovely countryside drowning there, absolutely beautiful".

What is the accompanying music to this ?

@evansnaturechannel1266 Год назад

Why weird music? It's bad news

@scrimperuk Год назад

The music is fine, I live in the area, people are used to the floods, it happens regularly and generally most people take little notice of them, locals are bemused by the interest of others in the flooding. The last time it was really bad was in 2007 when not only was a large area flooded the water works at Tewkesbury was flooded and had to be shut down causing no mains water for a huge area for several weeks, Also power station at Gloucester was inches away from flooding which would have caused disaster for a large area of Gloucestershire.

I work on the Avon and have just been to Tewkesbury this is old footage from 2007 some of the buildings in this footage are different now especially the mill which is very different and new ones that have been put up since are not showing noticeably the building site not far from the mill. Why are they doing this. its fake news. yes the rivers high but that's normal but I think someone needs check where they get there footage from
