Hiking

This historic bridge witnessed the first and last battles of the English Civil War. The Battle of Powick Bridge, fought on 23rd September, 1642, was the first skirmish between the Royalists and the Parliamentarians. The Battle of Worcester, fought on 3rd September, 1651, marked the end of the war and also took place in and around Powick Bridge. The Monarch's Way long-distance hike begins from this spot and traces King Charles II's escape route after his defeat at the Battle of Worcester.

Hiking

Still closed to all traffic in May 2026. Its been 2 years now. Diversion requires walking up to the main road and walking back (there is a path) to the new bridge.
