Nice bridge but a bit of a bugger to cross

Originally a medieval church, St Giles has been added to throughout the centuries. The nave and chancel are thought to date from the 13th century, the tower from the 14th century, the north aisle from the 17th century. Most recently, the south aisle was constructed in 1842, and the vestry in 1885.

Good mid ride toilet stop, very clean too!

Bidford has a old bridge crossing the river and a large grass area by the river. Ideal for a picnic stop on a nice day. Pre-Covid times the public toilets were open, maybe one day they will reopen.

Bidford Bridge crosses the Avon at Bidford-on-Avon, Warwickshire, England. It is a scheduled monument and is Grade I listed. The bridge is wider than a typical packhorse bridge. It dates from the early 15th century but has been repaired many times; in the 16th century stone from Alcester's demolished priory was used. There are eight arches, with cutwaters on the upper side. In 1644, supporters of Charles I demolished the bridge to cover his retreat from Worcester to Oxford - this was repaired in 1650 by Quarter Sessions, for whom Bidford Bridge was a 'county bridge' under its control. The Heart of England Way walking route uses the bridge.
