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)."

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).

Diglis Bridge is 66 metres in length and links the marina area with Lower Wick. As part of a £5 million riverside regeneration project aimed at revitalising the Diglis Basin and Marina, Diglis Bridge was opened on the 20th of July 2010 as a new link in the National Cycle Network. It also creates a completely elliptical cycle path between Worcester’s main Sabrina Bridge and the Diglis Locks.  At the time of writing, it is the most recent bridge to be built across Britains longest river – The Severn. Designated as a pedestrian and bicycle bridge it was architecturally designed by YEE Associates and installed by Alun Griffiths Ltd as part of the ‘Sustrans Connect2’ (sustainable Transport) Initiative. The completed bridge is believed to have cost 1.8 million pound to develop and install. The suspension bridge a-frame pylon tower is 28m in height and is inclined towards the river at a 22.5° angle. It’s believed to be only one of two Bridges worldwide where the cable-stayed tower inclines towards the span of the river – the other one being located in Tasmania. Diglis Bridge is 66 metres in length and links the marina area with Lower Wick. The decking is made from aluminium planks and the parapets are designed as post-and-wire railings. The width is a minimum of 3.5 metres to allow for cyclists traveling in opposite directs to pass each other with ease. Overall, the bridge weighs about 70 tonnes and clears the river surface by an average of 8.3 metres. Given its unusual design and scenic setting it has become something of a tourist attraction in its own right. It is particularly popular with photographers as the sun angles directly behind the main pylon during sunset.

Night time or evening viewpoint. Particularly good around bonfire night.

Great place to stop for a rest, the steep Fort Royal Hill gives you a nice viewpoint over the cathedral and city, with the Malverns on the horizon.

Greyfriars is a late medieval merchant’s house in the heart of Worcester. The house was built in 1490 by a wealthy merchant and was lived in by a series of well-to-do families until the 17th century, when a baker purchased the property and divided it into two. Over the next 200 years it was all manner of shops and businesses. By the 1930s, however, the house was faced with demolition. Fortunately, it was saved by dedicated individuals and is now in the care of the National Trust. For more information, visit: https://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/greyfriars-house-and-garden.
