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!

Nice!

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.

This bridge is a part of NCN 46, which connects the village of Powick and Old Worcester Bridge, thereby leading to an alleged place where Battle of Worcester took place in 1651, and start of the Monarch's Way

Nestled in peaceful Lower Broadheath, The Firs was the first place of inspiration for composer Edward Elgar, who was born here in 1857. Today the property is owned by the National Trust, requiring membership or buying a ticket to enter.

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.

The swan is the symbol of the town of Kleve in Germany, one of the two towns twinned with Worcester. This sculpture was presented to Worcester by the town of Kleve. The stonemasons of Worcester Cathedral made a second section for the column which is now two metres high.

Diglis Bridge is 66 metres in length and links the marina area with Lower Wick. As part of a £5 million riverside regeneration project aimed at revitalising the Diglis Basin and Marina, Diglis Bridge was opened on the 20th of July 2010 as a new link in the National Cycle Network. It also creates a completely elliptical cycle path between Worcester’s main Sabrina Bridge and the Diglis Locks.  At the time of writing, it is the most recent bridge to be built across Britains longest river – The Severn. Designated as a pedestrian and bicycle bridge it was architecturally designed by YEE Associates and installed by Alun Griffiths Ltd as part of the ‘Sustrans Connect2’ (sustainable Transport) Initiative. The completed bridge is believed to have cost 1.8 million pound to develop and install. The suspension bridge a-frame pylon tower is 28m in height and is inclined towards the river at a 22.5° angle. It’s believed to be only one of two Bridges worldwide where the cable-stayed tower inclines towards the span of the river – the other one being located in Tasmania. Diglis Bridge is 66 metres in length and links the marina area with Lower Wick. The decking is made from aluminium planks and the parapets are designed as post-and-wire railings. The width is a minimum of 3.5 metres to allow for cyclists traveling in opposite directs to pass each other with ease. Overall, the bridge weighs about 70 tonnes and clears the river surface by an average of 8.3 metres. Given its unusual design and scenic setting it has become something of a tourist attraction in its own right. It is particularly popular with photographers as the sun angles directly behind the main pylon during sunset.

This view is seen from the bridge along the main road.

This historic bridge witnessed the first and last battles of the English Civil War. The Battle of Powick Bridge, fought on 23rd September, 1642, was the first skirmish between the Royalists and the Parliamentarians. The Battle of Worcester, fought on 3rd September, 1651, marked the end of the war and also took place in and around Powick Bridge. The Monarch's Way long-distance hike begins from this spot and traces King Charles II's escape route after his defeat at the Battle of Worcester.
