Worcester and Birmingham Canal connection to the Droitwich Barge Canal - turn off here for the 'Worcester Loop.'

The house known as Porter's Mill stands on a tributary of the Severn, with the actual mill on the opposite side of the road. The building is of half-timber work plastered, and is entered by a wood porch, with 18th-century moulded balusters fitted in the sides. There is a small hall, with stair and large fireplace on the left, and above the latter are the royal arms encircled by the Garter and flanked by the crowned initials E. R. One of the rooms contains a 17th-century plaster ceiling of interlacing design, enriched with fleurs de lis, crowns, fruit, Prince of Wales' feathers, mermaids, &c. There is also some good moulded oak panelling ornamented with lions and crowns. The short stair has good twisted balusters.

Interesting route close to canal.

Single track good for MTB

This path is on a bridleway, and rideable (mtb). The footpath along the river Salwarpe is lovely but liable to get waterlogged. I've spotted heron's in the area.
