Basically, you ignore the sign at the end of Lock Lane saying "Private" - that applies to vehicles only - there is a public footpath straight down that leads to the end of the Barge Canal and Lock 1..<br /><br />Try this URL: <br /><br />http://www.leepd60.net63.net/DEIcanal1090.htm<br /><br />Lots of pictures about the restored Droitwich Canals there and other info!<br /><br />cheers<br /><br />Peter LeePeter Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07013746639474025464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8424936018545539903.post-43055157658220938212013-12-08T07:55:50.652+00:002013-12-08T07:55:50.652+00:00Thanks for that Adam, we’ll give it a try … watch ...Thanks for that Adam, we’ll give it a try … watch this space!Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18155792486454776550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8424936018545539903.post-34474152080731989292013-12-07T20:48:29.617+00:002013-12-07T20:48:29.617+00:00When we went by car to find Hawford Lock, before t...When we went by car to find Hawford Lock, before the Droitwich Canal was re-opened, we went down Hawford Lock Lane. However, there are houses between the road and the lock, and they don't take kindly to people trying to get through their gardens! I wonder whether your best bet is to find the place where the A449 crosses the canal, and see if you can get down to the towpath. That puts you on the other side of the canal from the houses. It must be accessible somehow, because at the next lock up there are information boards, etc.Adamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00797263033136330290noreply@blogger.com
