Droitwich Canals Map

«

»

We are pleased to announce that the first in the Waterway Maps series is now available.

This covers the Droitwich Canals and is still in draft format, largely because the canal isn't finished yet and we can't record things like the depth of locks when the water levels aren't finalised. We've included good estimates though, and I expect to fine tune the information as it becomes available.

The information is much more up to date than any of the printed canal guides - and we can keep it up to date too.

I would appreciate lots of feedback on the general style and layout of the maps - so the rest of the series can be made better still.

The map is in pdf format and is sized for A4 printing. You can also print two pages to a sheet and fold in half for A5 booklet format. Let us know how you get on with the smaller print sizes this produces.

There is no charge for downloading the Droitwich Canals map from us (although your ISP may charge you for the data downloaded).

  1. That looks superb Paul. How have you decided what information to include? Will it be purely navigational information, or will it include canal-side amenities?

  2. Neil: Thanks for the comment. These are “cruising maps” intended to cover everything you need to cruise which is connected to boating. That’s Locks, Bridges, Winding Holes, Pumpouts etc, as listed in the key on the last page.

    I don’t have the resources to include pubs, supermarkets etc and keep the information up to date single handed.

  3. It looks great to me Paul, really user friendly … I hope I get a chance to use your map once the canal it is all fully open. Nick Ferrar

  4. Enjoyed the map Paul, and the photos. I followed the map whilst looking at the photos – wonderful. I was confused, however with the numbers of the Barge Canal locks – your map numbers them 8 down to 1 (ladywood Top) but the photos are numbered from 1 at Hawford. Which will be the official numbers, and perhaps the map and photos should should be consistent with these?

  5. Nick: I certainly hope we’ll all get the chance to use the map later this year. We’re planning a new pair of DVDs for the Droitwich Canals as soon as we can.

  6. Marian: Thanks for the feedback. We’ve uploaded a new map with the corrected numbering so download a new copy and that will be fine.

  7. I clicked on the link to download the Droitwich Canal Map but it was ‘not found’. Perhaps somebody left the paddles up!

  8. Chas: I’ve fixed the link, thanks for pointing out the problem.
