Something to do this Half Term

Are you looking to get out and about in the Worcestershire countryside over the half term holidays? 

Worcestershire County Council's Countryside Service have a number of way marked circular walks across the County with the latest being a new six ¾ mile circular walk around the varied landscape of Hanbury, starting from Gateway Park, ¾ mile east of Droitwich.

The fully way marked route takes in canal side walking and farmland as well as the wood pasture of Piper's Hill Common and the historic parkland of Hanbury Hall. 

John Campion, Cabinet Member for Localism and Communities said "The Hanbury Circular Walk is part of the Droitwich Canal Restoration Project and will an enjoyable walk along the canal and around some of the beautiful local countryside for local people and visitors alike"

A free leaflet accompanies the walk and is available from Droitwich Tourism Information Centre, Jinney Ring Craft Centre and the Countryside Centre, Worcester.  Alternatively, the leaflet can be downloaded by visiting www.worcestershire.gov.uk/countryside.
