Oh wait, I remember now. This is correct for extremely stupid reasons
relating to the boundaries of the county of Bristol including a large
chunk of the Bristol Channel.

I can confirm the boundary in OSM matches the one in OS Boundary Line.
That relation could probably do with a note tag on it, though.

Cheers,

Russ

It's on the Welsh side of the national boundary but also in South West England City of Bristol. This is either a map error with the Welsh boundary or a legal anomaly I don't know which.  If it's one of those legal quirks then wouldn't it be better as an exclave of England in Wales?
