Droitwich Spa Marina is on the Droitwich

Canal has been restored at the cost of £12.5m (funded
by the Heritage Lottery Fund and Advantage West Midlands). These two canals will re-open as Droitwich
Barge Canal, a short 21 mile cruising circle (the
only one in Europe!), connecting the Worcester-Birmingham
Canal to the River Severn via Droitwich Spa and the River
Salwarpe. The new route passes through the picturesque
town of Droitwich Spa with many shops, pubs and
cafes. But will also encompass the historical Catherdal
City of Worcester with the premiership league Worcester
Rugby Club at Sixways, Worcester Cathedral, Royal Worcester Porcelain,
Worcester
County Cricket Club and Worcester Racecourse.
Droitwich Spa Marina is in an excellent location, not only
to the Midland
canal network, but it is just 2 miles from Junction 5 of the M5
motorway. Once moored you are just a 15 minute stroll along the
towpath to Droitwich Spa Town or 200 metres from the Eagle
and Sun Pub overlooking the Worcester-Birmingham Canal.
Construction of this marina started
in July 2011 and will be fully functional by Spring 2012. As well as protecting the
existing wildlife,
when completed new habitats will also be created. The surrounds
of the marina will be enhanced with sympathetic landscaping.
Numerous different species of aquatic plants will be planted
around the waters edge, which is also expected to help create
a tranquil setting for the enjoyment of
boaters at this new marina.
