Overview

We walk down to the river along the Kingfisher path and cross over using the Diglis pedestrian bridge. We continue back toward Worcester and up the Worcester and Birmingham canal detouring up Fort Royal hill for the historic panoramic view and tea/coffee break (bring MMRs). We continue up the canal for an early lunch stop (Bring PL).  Following back streets we return to the historic New Street in the city admiring the timber-framed building. We visit the Cathedral to look at the large Christmas Tree exhibition with an opportunity for tea and cake at the cafe. We return to the start along the river. Booking Essential
