Purton is a tiny hamlet on the western bank of the River Severn, where the river is a broad, tidal stream in the course of becoming the Severn Estuary. It stands opposite another Purton, to which it was once intimately linked by a ferry.
The western Purton is two miles north-east of Lydney at the edge of the Forest of Dean. The main railway line from Chepstow to Gloucester runs through Purton along the bank of the river.
