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.
