ポウィックのおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

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

大聖堂 – つまり司教座聖堂 – ウスター市にあるこの建物は、約千年のキリスト教の伝統を持つ、非常に歴史的な建造物です。というのも、この礼拝堂の建設は、ノルマン人によるイングランド征服（征服王ウィリアム、旧ノルマンディー公、後にイングランド王、西暦1066年）の直後である西暦1084年にすでに始まっていたからです。この礼拝堂、ひいてはこの教区全体は、イングランド国教会の聖堂では珍しくないことですが、二重の守護聖人に委ねられています。第一に、神の子であり、受肉したイエス・キリストご自身、そして第二に、最も祝福された神の母であり処女マリアです。

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.

Great views of Worcestershire Beacon and North Hill. Well-surfaced lane which lead to Malvern/Madresfield
