Tips from the Community
The Cathedral – i.e. a bishop’s church – in the city of Worcester is a very historic building with an almost thousand-year-old Christian tradition. The construction of this house of worship was begun as early as AD 1084, shortly after the Norman conquest of England (by William the Conqueror, formerly Duke of Normandy, then King of England, AD 1066). This house of worship and thus the entire diocese has, which is by no means unusual for Anglican cathedrals, been entrusted to a double patronage: firstly Jesus Christ himself, the God-son incarnate, and secondly the most blessed Mother of God and Virgin Mary.

Cycle bridge over the Crookbarrow Way dual carriageway

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.

Great little aesthetically pleasing footbridge providing foot/cycle access from Norton to Worcester, also providing great views of the Malverns. Also, NCN 442 and 45 go through the bridge.

Until the 20th century, it was the only bridge across River Severn from Tewkesbury to Worcester. Now, it's a well-surfaced bridge with Severn Way going perpendicular to it.

A very attractive building that appears more recent than it actually is (consecrated in 1879). Inside, the most immediate striking feature is The Corona above the nave altar - a circle of eight winged 'spirit figures'. Various alterations to the layout and function of the different areas have been made over the years and there are items from the old church (that this one replaced) and others. A lovely place to spend time in quiet contemplation.

Gentle ascent in Little Comberton direction. The boundary marker is situated right along NCN 442, so it is easy to spot.
