Overview

Follow in the footsteps of former pilgrims on a restored ancient footpath  from Droitwich to Worcester along the canal and the River Severn. We pass fields, locks and grassy banks before reaching Worcester racecourse and continuing to the pilgrims' final destination of Worcester cathedral, where we will see the tomb of King John and the restored shrine of St Oswald. Optional tea and cake at the cathedral cafe.
