포윅 최고의 워킹 & 하이킹 경로

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

우스터 시에 있는 대성당 – 즉, 주교좌 성당 – 은 거의 천 년의 기독교 전통을 가진 매우 역사적인 건물입니다. 이 예배당의 건설은 1084년에 시작되었는데, 이는 노르만족의 잉글랜드 정복 (1066년 노르망디 공작이자 잉글랜드 왕이었던 윌리엄 더 컨커러에 의해) 직후였습니다. 이 예배당과 따라서 전체 교구는 성공회 대성당에서 흔히 그렇듯이 두 개의 수호성인을 모시고 있습니다. 첫째는 신의 아들이자 인간이 되신 예수 그리스도 자신이고, 둘째는 가장 복되신 어머니이시며 동정녀이신 마리아입니다.

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.

Great views of Worcestershire Beacon and North Hill. Well-surfaced lane which lead to Malvern/Madresfield
