the Droitwich Junction Canal which together with the Barge 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.
