Overview

Please contact our friendly experienced walks leader if you require any further advice or information about the walk.

Droitwich

This is an easy walk with just a couple of gentle slopes. However, on the recce I had to modify the route to include more lane walking than I had anticipated in order to avoid impassable areas due to localised flooding. Even then, some areas were very muddy, so come prepared: boots & poles.

The walk is from OS Explorer 204 and will start from the leisure centre, South West along the Droitwich Canal for approximately 2.5 miles, turning North at Porter’s Mill towards Ombersley, then East on the Wychavon and Monarch’s ways back to Droitwich via The Great Pool.

See you on the day,

There is ample free parking at the leisure centre, under refurbishment, so no loos available (or anywhere else on this walk). As the first car park is likely to be fairly full (no idea why), it’s best to drive through to the overflow next to the playing fields: WR9 0RZ (W3W: minus.sharp.owners).
