Droitwich Junction Canal - the M5 tunnel Classed as bridge No. 5 this is actually a tight 60 metre long tunnel. The canal at this point carries water from the Body Brook and the headroom is variable through the tunnel. This waterfront is accessible by some steps from the left but is now virtually completely hidden from the nearby road by the growth of vegetation in the last decade or so.

Droitwich Junction Canal - lock No. 1 The first of seven on this short canal. The first three are in a short distance and are the only original locks left. The other four are modern locks. These three have water-saving side pounds and the two sluices for lock No. 1 are seen to its right. These are still in use and a note on the gate instructs users to use the side paddles first.
