Situated in the centre of Kidderminster on the Staffordshire & Worcestershire Canal, Round Hill Wharf is a small off-line leisure mooring site.
The site provides good access for boaters wishing to explore one of James Brindley's early canals. Or if choosing to leave the boat behind for a day, places like the Wyre Forest, Severn Valley Railway and a host of good eateries are all within easy reach.
The mooring site has close access to a good range of facilities and provides space for up to five vessels moored against floating pontoons.
