River Severn approaching Diglis

Diglis Basin

Diglis is where the Worcester & Birmingham Canal meets the awe-inspiring River Severn. It's a great starting point to explore the canal and river, or head into the city of Worcester.

Take a leisurely stroll around Diglis Marina and Worcester Dry Dock before discovering what else this wonderful riverside city has to offer.
