Canal Boat Hire in Worcestershire

Four canals grace the county of Worcestershire, The Staffordshire and Worcestershire Canal, The Droitwich Barge Canal, The Droitwich Junction Canal and the Worcester and Birmingham Canal. The Worcester and Birmingham Canal leads you from the vibrant centre of Birmingham, through the green hills of Worcestershire, to the cathedral city of Worcester. The Staffordshire and Worcestershire Canal connects to the River Severn at the historic Stourport Basins to the southern end of the canal close to the River Stour.

The Droitwich Barge Canal and Droitwich Junction Canal re-opened in 2011, after years of restoration. The re-opening of the Droitwich Canals has created a brand new cruising ring for canal boating holiday guests. The Mid-Worcestershire ring can easily be completed in a weekend or short break. Worcestershire also has two major rivers running through it The River Severn and The River Avon giving canal boating guests the benefits of a diverse choice of cruising.
