This is a recommended canal boat holidays route.
The Droitwich Canal links the Birmingham and Worcester Canal with the River Severn at Hawford creating a new mini ring from Worcester. Cruising the ring will take approximately 20 hours so a short break is possible but will require long days cruising.
The Droitwich Canal is an amalgamation of the Droitwich Barge Canal and the Droitwich Junction Canal both were built to carry salt from Droitwich Spa but were abandoned in 1939. The Droitwich Canal Trust has worked since 1973 to restore this stretch, which is now open.
