Tites Point, on the eastern shore of the Severn near Purton, exposes folded Silurian rocks with shelly fossils and several concentrations of early fish remains. Mud cover can hide most of the section, and a reported access restriction means the route and permission must be checked before planning a visit. Silurian, Foreshore, Rating: ♦♦♦♦
Mortimer Forest, near Ludlow, preserves an internationally important record of Silurian seas in wooded quarries, stream banks and trackside cuttings.
