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

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).

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.

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.
