'Riverside walks never fail to be interesting, as rivers are havens for wildlife of all sorts and anything could drift past. Colourful narrowboats, shy waterbirds, the splash of a fish, eerie reeds as they sway in the breeze, if you stay alert all sorts of sights and sounds will delight you. These two fully waymarked walks along the River Avon will not disappoint, whatever time of year you visit. There are no stiles to negotiate on either walk.'

'The Blossom Trail allows visitors to explore the natural beauty of the Vale at its best ... There are so many ways in which to enjoy this beautiful natural attraction.

These are a series of 3 walks designed with springtime blossom in mind, but they can be appreciated at anytime during the year.'

'We have published a number of walks on Bredon Hill that include various starting points. The majority are circular walks however we will include a couple of point to point walks for those who can arrange appropriate transport. The Wychavon Way is a walk that takes you from Droitwich to Broadway or vica-versa and it passes over Bredon Hill from Great Comberton to Ashton under Hill.'

'A rewarding and varied walk following Britain's longest river and one of its earliest canals. This walk takes in almost the entire length of the Droitwich Barge Canal, one of canal pioneer James Brindley's earliest works. It then follows the mighty River Severn on its way into Worcester, approaching the city on the little-walked east bank.'

Note from the Canal & River Trust: 'We’ve previously hosted the details of a number of different walking and cycling routes. However, when we looked at them closely we weren’t convinced that all of our routes were completely accurate. We don’t want you to get lost trying to follow one of our routes and so we have removed them for now. We would like to add them back onto our website for everyone to enjoy. If you think you could spare the time to go and check one of our old routes, make sure the distance is correct and fill us in on the best parking spots and transport links then please email us ... In the meantime you can find some great canal and river walking routes at iFootpath ...'
