The home of HM Coastguards, Chepstow at Beachley. Beachley is a village in Gloucestershire, located on a peninsula at the confluence of the River Wye and the River Severn, some 2 miles southeast of Chepstow. Here the Severn Bridge ends and the bridge over the River Wye begins, both bridges carry the M48 motorway, formerly the M4. Prior to the construction of the bridge, Beachley was a ferry port from where the Aust Ferry operated until 1966. The village is home to an infantry barracks, occupying the site of the former Army Apprentices College.
