City of old white people. The whole thing has little to do with a romantic book village, antique shops and cafes characterize the townscape together with congested streets

Canary Bridge (formally the Greenway bridge) was renamed in memory of The Canary Girls who worked in the Rotherwas Munitions Factory. The pedestrian and cyclist suspension bridge links the centre more directly to the Rotherwas industrial estate over the River Wye.

Haugh Woods Butterfly Trails are two short trails that meander the ancient woodland of Haugh Woods. The trails have been set up by Forestry England to allow everyone to enjoy the numerous butterflies and moths that live here. This is an important site for UK butterflies (we are in short supply!) and this woodland gives nearly 350 hectares or 850 acres for them to breed. There are about over 600 of both species living here!
