ウスターでの周辺の簡単なハイキングとウォーキング

2026年5月まで、すべての交通に閉鎖されたままです。すでに2年が経過しました。迂回路では、本道まで歩き、新しい橋まで戻って歩く必要があります（小道があります）。

The River Severn flows through Worcester City, overlooked by Worcester Cathedral on its western side.

The old bridge is out of action at the moment due to damage during floods. It is being repaired - slowly!

The ferry is open on Saturday afternoons (also Sunday and Monday on Bank Holiday weekends) from April - September. The boat is called Doris and has been recently renovated. It costs just 50p to cross the river.

The new gates replaced old wooden doors and have been much admired by local residents and visitors to the Cathedral. The gates are on the bank of the river Severn and the area is often deep in water during winter floods. The gates permit the free flow of water through the archway in times of extreme flood.

The swan is set on a plain cylindrical column within a circular area of cobbles. The swan stands facing the river, one foot raised to support a shield with the arms of Kleve shown in low relief. Its neck arches backwards and then forwards as its beak points out across the river, and its wings stretch upwards and outwards. The swan is the symbol of the town of Kleve in Germany, one of the two towns twinned with Worcester (the other being Le Vesinet, France).

The River Severn flows through the heart of the city of Worcester - often flooding over the winter months. It's the longest river in Britain, at 220 miles, running from Pumlumon Fawr in the Cambrian Mountains to the Severn Estuary.

Today, Powick is home to three pubs, but it was historically the site of a psychiatric hospital and a Victorian power station, and these intriguing buildings are well worth a detour to see. The old bridge over the river Teme is a Grade I listed structure and was built in medieval times.
