Awesome River Dee Tidal Bore At Shotton, North Wales, UK.

I filmed the bore at this point of the river a few years earlier, one which was much larger. The tide height suggested there might be a bore (they aren't always willing to show on smaller rivers) and I was proven correct.

    Brill video. I’ve often wondered what the bore would look like from that location… now I know. Pity there was so much fresh water in the river, else it would have been more spectacular on such a good spring tide. Thanks for posting.

    That was for sure mesmerizing. It's a great natural wonder - really good you could be there for it. I wonder how much energy that exerts - a fair bit no doubt. Down here on the Severn they surf the bore. Great show. Mark

    People have been known to Canoe it - where the channel narrows and makes the wave bigger.

    You were in Connahs Quay.

    Thanks for your observation. However, I beg to differ. It was Shotton. We were 200 yards from the railway bridge. Wepre Brook where it issues into the Dee is the Connah's Quay boundary and that was downstream somewhere beyond where the bore comes into view at the start of my clip........................ The mid way point of the river is the boundary between Shotton and Sealand......................... If this link works okay, you can zoom in and it quite clearly shows the boundaries. We were just downstream of the derelict landing stage on the far bank and that is marked on the map when you zoom in........... mapit.mysociety.org/area/12772.html Cheers.
