Vines Park, Droitwich SpaThis park covers an area of old brine workings. St Richard the patron saint of Droitwich is remembered here with a statue in his honour. The park is just the other side of the Saltway road from the town’s shopping centre and provides a pleasant green corridor along the canal. Restoration work on the canal in the area of Vines Park is due to commence in 2009 and at completion narrow boats will once again be able to come through into the park. Wyche Barge Project - responsibility of British Waterways. There have been problems with the project and is currently surrounded by a security fence. Any queries please contact Kim Chester at British Waterways on 01452 318098 |
