A Ditter through Droitwich

There aren’t many attractions in the sleepy town of Droitwich, but it’s a very pleasant place to visit. There’s Vine Park with its canal bridges and green and St. Richards monument, built to commemorate the bringing of the salt to the town which made it a spa. The roads aren’t cobbled but they are narrow and are usually quiet. There’s historic Friar Street with its many medieval buildings and traditional independent shops. For modern shopping there’s St. Andrew’s Square, but the big chains don’t do too well here. There’s a selection of pubs but further out the town just expands into houses. There’s not much to see past the circular road which surrounds the town centre; though pedestrians can pass through easily thanks to its network of footpaths and underpasses. Of course, if you’re looking for something to do, it’s best to visit when the town plays host to one of its festivals.
