Once the Roman settlement of Salinae, an important village at the junction of several roads, today Droitwich Spa and its surroundings are a treat for walkers.

Thanks to the massive deposits of salt in the region, the town has always been involved in the salt trade and became very prosperous as a spa town during the 19th century, thanks in part to the efforts of industrialist John Corbett.

Two canals pass through the town, the Droitwich Canal and the Worcester and Birmingham Canal, both important trade arteries in its heyday. The Droitwich Canal runs through Vines Park, the start/end point for the Wychavon Way, a medium-distance trail through Worcestershire. The park is a good place to learn more about the brine industry.
