힘블턴 최고의 MTB 라이딩 경로

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.

This memorial to the victims of war and tyranny takes us back a step further in history than the two terrible world wars that usually spring to mind first, and which claimed so many lives in the first half of the 20th century. However, this WAR MEMORIAL commemorates the fallen of the Second Anglo-Boer War, at the very beginning of the century (1899 to 1902), in which the British Empire subjugated the "Boer Republic of the Orange Free State" and the "South African Republic (Transvaal)."

It's on the National cycle Network no 45 I believe

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.

Very quiet place, which is popular among runners and walkers. However, Worcestershire&Birmingham channel is relatively well-surfaced at this section (compacted gravel with some cobblestones). So, it can be carefully(!) completed on road bikes with decent tires. If not, then ~1km of pushing in total from the nearest road.

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).

River licence required to open Digliss Lock.
