Recommended routes:

The Stourport Ring which includes Worcester countryside and Cathedral City.
The River Severn makes a break from the narrow canals and gives adifferent experience of cruising,before entering historic Stourport

The Blackcounry Museum is arecommended stop on route, where the best part of  a day can be spent exploring the restored village, with Docks, Tramways, Steam engines and Blacksmith etc..
And then on to explore Birmingham,which is a delightfully different experience from the water.
returning via the 2700 yrd Wasthall tunnel and the rite of passage of Tardebigge locks.

The Droitwich Canals Restoration

The project is restoring 12km of waterway linking the Droitwich Canals to the River Severn at Hawford and the Worcester & Birmingham Canal at Droitwich. This includes the restoration of

  • 12 locks and the construction of 4 new locks
  • 1km of new cut & 500m is canalised river
  • 1 major bridge construction under the A449
  • Creation of offline reedbed to replace those removed from the channel

The project is re-linking the Junction Canal and the Barge Canal, a navigation that was officially abandoned in 1939. This will create a 21 mile cruising ring that will also take in the Worcester and Birmingham Canal and River Severn.
