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

Lovely little church in the old part of Wyre Piddle, which also has a number of B&W thatched cottages.

By far the highlight of this section of the Wychavon Way. Very pleasant place, but it is on the flood plain and so is not accessible when the Avon is in flood.

St Mary's Church. War memorial and Millennium window

Four boards tell the story of Wick

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.

Very muddy by the river in winter so wear good shoes!

This was a key crossing point for traders between London and Worcester. Originally built in the 1400s, various repairs have taken place over the centuries to create the grand structure we see today. There is a popular picnic spot nearby, from which the Pershore Bridges Circular Walk begins. See : https://www.komoot.com/guide/712082 for more inspiration.

Reconstructed and remodelled throughout its 1,000-year history, Pershore Abbey is today a spectacular reminder of ancient times. With Norman, Gothic and Victorian architecture all vying for your attention, it is no wonder the abbey is so popular with visitors to Pershore. Its Abbey Park makes for a lovely afternoon stroll.

Pershore is a wonderfully picturesque market town on the banks of the River Avon. It is a great base for exploring Worcestershire's beautiful countryside and for the Cotswolds AONB, a stone's throw to the south. Its elegant Georgian streets are thronged with independent shops, cafes and great pubs. Its most spectacular building is undoubtedly Pershore Abbey, once a Benedictine Monastery, now a parish church.

Often referred to as Pershore Meadows, Avon Meadows Community Wetland was created in the wake of the devastating floods of 2007 in order to reduce the impact of future flooding events. Nestled on the banks of the River Avon, this nature reserve is a glorious place for lovers of wildlife. An array of footpaths and boardwalks allow you to get close to the action. There is no parking in the winter months, as the area is often under water.

In 1290 Sir Nicholas de Mitton left 12d(5p). for the repair of this bridge. By 1322 it was again falling down and stayed like that until 1346. No agreement could be reached on who was to pay for repairs- the people of Pershore or the Abbot of Westminster who owned the adjacent land , but after five years of legal wrangling it was decided in 1351 that the repairs to the bridge should be shared between the abbot and the town. In 1388 it was again in ruins and when Pershore Abbey was destroyed some of the materials were used for repairing it. By 1607 it was again in need of repairs but on 5 June 1644 Pershore Bridge was destroyed by King Charles I army on the way to Worcester to delay the Roundheads from following. Forty men were drowned owing to the haste with which the destruction was completed. The present bridge is a structure of various dates due to its many collapses and rebuilds. The fourth arch is wider than the rest and is the one broken down by Charles I, was repaired in stone, locally said to have been taken from the ruins of Elmley Castle. The Dean and Chapter of Westminster now repair Pershore Bridge, paying the county council for doing the work.
