Walking opportunities abound in Worcestershire. Long-distance walkers can take on the Severn Way – particularly attractive around Worcestershire – or head east and tackle the 77-mile Oxford Canal Walk. Families set their own pace on the footpaths around Earlswood Lakes and history buffs can admire the restoration work on the Droitwich Canals.

Towpath has been closed

UPDATE (17 January 2012): The works to the aqueduct are now being carried out without dewatering the canal. However, boats being used by the contractor will be blocking the canal to navigation.
It is possible that limited passage may be possible, but British Waterways are unable to guarantee this.
For the purposes of journey planning please assume the canal is closed.
