Tips from the Community
A super nice cycleway that goes along the banks of the Severn and beyond. The surface is super good and avoids busy road sections. A good alternative if you were doing the LEJOG like us.

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 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.

Until the later half of the 20th century, the bridge at Upton was the only one across the River Severn between Worcester and Tewkesbury; the present bridge was built in 1940. Oliver Cromwell's soldiers crossed the Severn here to win the battle of Upton before the main Battle of Worcester in the English Civil War.

A brilliant, relatively new cycleway along the River Severn. I would recommend visiting Diglis Pass (opening hours can be checked here - https://canalrivertrust.org.uk/things-to-do/museums-and-attractions/diglis-island-and-fish-pass/drop-in-sessions-at-the-fish-pass).
