Upper Arley village road on embankment

The unclassified road which serves the small village of Upper Arley is carried along a raised embankment at this point where it passes the small harbour. Today the village is in Worcestershire but a long time ago it was actually in Staffordshire.

Footbridge over the River Severn

There is no longer a ferry across the river at Upper Arley but instead the river can be crossed by foot using this bridge. You can also wheel a cycle over it, but it is too narrow for 4 wheeled vehicles. The bridge usefully links the picturesque village of Upper Arley to both Arley station on the Severn Valley Railway and to The Harbour Inn, there being no public house in the village itself.
