Droitwich Canal in Vines Park

Highlight • River

Once the Roman settlement of Salinae, an important village at the junction of several roads, today Droitwich Spa and its surroundings are a treat for walkers.

Thanks to the massive deposits of salt in the region, the town has always been involved in the salt trade and became very prosperous as a spa town during the 19th century, thanks in part to the efforts of industrialist John Corbett.

Two canals pass through the town, the Droitwich Canal and the Worcester and Birmingham Canal, both important trade arteries in its heyday. The Droitwich Canal runs through Vines Park, the start/end point for the Wychavon Way, a medium-distance trail through Worcestershire. The park is a good place to learn more about the brine industry.

John Bonham's Grave at St Michael’s Church

Highlight • Religious Site

St Michael’s is a pretty church nestling in the Worcestershire countryside. This remote church is an important place of pilgrimage for Led Zeppelin fans as the band’s drummer, John Bonham, is buried within the grounds (you can’t miss his grave — it is always covered with drumsticks). The Grade II-listed church was built between 1756-58 on the site of a medieval church.
