ノースピドル周辺のアトラクション＆必見スポット - トップ20

アボン川にかかる美しい中世の橋。その年齢を考えると信じられないほどよく保存されています。

The old bridge is picturesque, and its also a great place to while away an hour or two by the river.

Such a beautiful place full of wildflowers and ponds. It is a circular walk. With a slow pace and rest on the bench at the top, it will take you about 30 minutes to walk around. Surrounded by meadows and benches all over the place. Beautiful little village

Quiet Anglican church with some gorgeous mosaics inside. Nice brown signpost on the nearest A-Road, so you won't miss the turn.

Park free at the bridge. Make sure you walk to Wick and back. Footpath starts at the old bridge, then across field to the village.

This was a key crossing point for traders between London and Worcester. Originally built in the 1400s, various repairs have taken place over the centuries to create the grand structure we see today. There is a popular picnic spot nearby, from which the Pershore Bridges Circular Walk begins. See : https://www.komoot.com/guide/712082 for more inspiration.

Great little cycling stop, a bench in the car park and places to lock your bikes.

In 1290 Sir Nicholas de Mitton left 12d(5p). for the repair of this bridge. By 1322 it was again falling down and stayed like that until 1346. No agreement could be reached on who was to pay for repairs- the people of Pershore or the Abbot of Westminster who owned the adjacent land , but after five years of legal wrangling it was decided in 1351 that the repairs to the bridge should be shared between the abbot and the town. In 1388 it was again in ruins and when Pershore Abbey was destroyed some of the materials were used for repairing it. By 1607 it was again in need of repairs but on 5 June 1644 Pershore Bridge was destroyed by King Charles I army on the way to Worcester to delay the Roundheads from following. Forty men were drowned owing to the haste with which the destruction was completed. The present bridge is a structure of various dates due to its many collapses and rebuilds. The fourth arch is wider than the rest and is the one broken down by Charles I, was repaired in stone, locally said to have been taken from the ruins of Elmley Castle. The Dean and Chapter of Westminster now repair Pershore Bridge, paying the county council for doing the work.
