Worcester Hire Base

If you choose our Worcester Hire Base, you will start your holiday at Lowesmoor Wharf, once the bustling centre of the city's canal trade.

Worcester became prosperous because of its position on the River Severn - first as one of the few river crossings and later as a staging post for river traffic. With the advent of the canal age, Worcester soon found itself linked to the rest of Britain's canals via the Worcester Birmingham Canal and so today finds itself at the hub of what is now the holiday cruising network. It is conveniently placed for access to the Worcester Birmingham Canal, the Staffs. and Worcs. Canal, the Stratford on Avon Canal and the rivers Severn and Avon, offering cruising through some of the prettiest and most interesting areas of Britain.

Directions to the base by car or public transport.
