Marine Cruises narrow boat holiday hire on The Droitwich Ring Narrowboat Holiday

Week, 10 and two week breaks from Tardebigge

30 hours, 33 locks, 21 miles

On a week-long break from Tardebigge you can complete the Droitwich Ring. Known as the Mid-Worcestershire Ring, the Droitwich Ring is a 21-mile, 33-lock circuit which takes around 16 hours to complete.  It travels sections of the Worcester & Birmingham Canal and the River Severn, as well as the Droitwich Barge and Junction canals.

You can enjoy the City of Worcester with its magnificent cathedral, the historic spa town of Droitwich, Hanbury Hall, the ancient village of Salwarpe, Dunhampstead Tunnel, and Diglis Basin.

The Droitwich Canals were historically important for the transportation of salt, as Droitwich Spa was known for its salt production. The canals were restored and only re-opened as recent as 2011, giving narrowboaters the opportunity once again to navigate the Droitwich Ring.

With the limited locks with both River and mixed canal cruising, all offering industrial and architectural heritage make this an excellent choice achievable in a week long narrowboat holiday from Tardebigge basin.
