The old bridge is picturesque, and its also a great place to while away an hour or two by the river.

Gentle ascent in Little Comberton direction. The boundary marker is situated right along NCN 442, so it is easy to spot.

Great church on the descent in Pershore direction. Beautiful mosaics inside

Nice coffee stop in the heart of Georgian town of Pershore. Café is very close to NCN 442.

Park free at the bridge. Make sure you walk to Wick and back. Footpath starts at the old bridge, then across field to the village.

Quiet place. Nice surroundings.

Nice place for break

The church of ST. PETER consists of a chancel 30¾ ft. by 16 ft. with north and south chapels, nave 38 ft. by 16 ft. with north porch and south chapel, and west tower 14¼ ft. by 12½ ft. All measurements are internal. The 12th-century church appears to have consisted of a nave and chancel of the same size as the existing ones, and of these the north nave wall and the base of the south chancel wall are still standing. A window was inserted in the north nave wall in the 14th century and the west tower built. Early in the following century the chancel was largely rebuilt. The north porch was added in 1639. The church has been drastically restored and the side chapels are modern additions. The east wall is of ashlar with two-stage diagonal buttresses and an old gable cross. The early 15thcentury east window is of three lights with a pointed traceried head. In the north wall is a square-headed window of three trefoiled lights. The external hood has the letter S in the centre of the head and voluted stops bearing the letters T and P. Further west are two modern arches to the north chapel. In the south wall is a three-light early 15th-century window similar to that on the north, and west of it is a modern arch opening to the south chapel or transept. In the same wall is a trefoil-headed piscina with the bowl cut away; the wall itself is partly of 12thcentury rubble masonry. The timber chancel arch is modern, as is the north chapel; built into the east wall is a two-light early 15th-century window with a quatrefoil in the head and in the north wall is a later square-headed window, both being formerly in the chancel wall. The south chapel is entirely modern with a three-light south window. The chancel roof retains a few old timbers. The nave has five windows in the north wall, three of them being early 12th-century single-light openings but much restored. The easternmost window is square-headed and of late date, and the third window is of two lights, pointed and of the 14th century. The jambs of both cut into the early 12th-century opening between them. The westernmost 12th-century window has an external cable moulding round the head. The north door is of similar date with a semicircular tympanum externally, ornamented with a plain cross and four whorls on each side. The rear arch is plain and round. At the east end of the south wall are two modern arches opening into the south chapel and west of them three modern windows, the last two being of two lights and coupled together; the rear arches, however, spring from ancient jambs. The south chapel has a modern arch on the east opening into the chancel chapel, and in the south wall are two two-light windows, of which the eastern is largely ancient and the western mainly modern. The masonry of the north nave wall is 12th-century rubble, but the south wall, though much restored, appears to be later. The west tower opens into the nave by a depressed four-centred arch with moulded capitals and bases to the responds; in the west wall is a three-light 14thcentury window with restored tracery and a pointed head, the external hood has large 'ball-flower' stops. The tower is four stages high, divided by stringcourses and faced with ashlar; it has diagonal buttresses at the angles, a moulded plinth and embattled parapet. The latter has crocketed pinnacles at the angles and gargoyles at the angles of the parapet string. The bell-chamber is lighted by a 14th-century threelight window in each face with external labels and head-stops. The north porch has stone side walls with benches and a timber front and gable with a segmental-headed outer door; on the face is inscribed 'A [inverted capital L], EP 1639.' The font has a circular stem and a plain octagonal bowl with a modern cross cut in one face. The other fittings are modern and include a carved oak reredos. In the coupled windows on the south of the nave and in the south-east window of the south chapel are some fragments of ancient glass. In the chancel are a number of old tiles, mostly with conventional designs, but some bearing the arms of the Confessor, of the Berkeleys and the Hungerfords. There are six bells: the tenor, fourth and treble cast by J. Taylor, 1866; the fifth inscribed, 'Richard Neale, Thomas Young Ch-wardens 1750'; the third, 'Abel Rudhall cast us all 1750'; and the second 'Prosperity to this parish A.R. 1750.'
