The cathedral—a bishop's church—in the city of Worcester is a building steeped in history, with a Christian tradition spanning nearly a thousand years. Construction of this church began in 1084, shortly after the Norman conquest of England (by William the Conqueror, formerly Duke of Normandy, then King of England, in 1066).

A super nice cycleway that goes along the banks of the Severn and beyond. The surface is super good and avoids busy road sections. A good alternative if you were doing the LEJOG like us.

very useful for cyclists, especially in terms of safety

Built by the order of Norman kings, astonishing place for history lovers. A tomb of King John is located inside of the cathedral. Additionally, the top is also worth checking, but it is better to double check opening hours.

A brilliant, relatively new cycleway along the River Severn. I would recommend visiting Diglis Pass (opening hours can be checked here - https://canalrivertrust.org.uk/things-to-do/museums-and-attractions/diglis-island-and-fish-pass/drop-in-sessions-at-the-fish-pass).

Worth checking if the tower is open as well. 235 steps to the top.

A beautiful cathedral rich in history

Great place, worth to visit

Possibly the best view of the cathedral is from the other side of the river (see images) but it's a magnificent building to look around and view from up close.

An Anglican cathedral on the banks of the River Severn. The present building was built between 1084 and 1504 and represents every style of English church architecture. It contains the tombs of King John and Prince Arthur.

Part of the NCN 46. A lovely, leafy cycleway on the banks of the Severn. Lots of benches to stop at and have a break whilst taking in the views.

Classic and relaxing chilled ride along the River Severn in Worcester. Keep your speed down, share the path with others... and just enjoy the scenery.

One of my favourite route.

A gorgeous cathedral, best admired from the river side or across from the river, as it is obscured.

Gorgeous views and one of my favourite rides from last year, cant wait to get back.

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.

Enjoy riding over the bridge. Survive the bits of your journey before and after.

Lovely new bridge with gentle gradients and a super grippy surface allowing for a powerful climbs and a fast decent. At night it has go fast lights set into the floor, so in the dark it feels a bit like riding on some sort of glamourous catwalk. At the northern end the bridge links up to a muddy path, barely passable after rain, or you can cross four lanes of traffic and ride on a pavement towards town. At the Northern end you can also ride on a pavement for 50metres, before crossing four lanes of traffic and heading towards Powick/Malvern. There is also the option of going round the roundabout. Whilst busy this avoids taking the hilly diversion that is the bridge, and means you don't have to rejoin by crossing traffic on a busy road. Lovely structure, would look great in a bridge museum, where it would probably be more useful. Cyclists are lucky, the footpath from Malvern is fenced off making the bridge the only option for pedestrians.

Ok thank you
