Droitwich literally means ‘Place of Salt’ and gets its name from the time that the Romans occupied the area and exported the then very valuable commodity.
The Victorians took advantage of the natural brine, its strength second only to the Dead Sea, where muscular relief is derived by swimming and floating in such a dense, concentrated salt solution which developed the town into a fashionable Spa. Today visitors can still enjoy the therapeutic benefits of the water in the baths that opened in 1985.
The attractive town centre is dotted with medieval churches and half-timbered buildings such as the Raven Hotel in St Andrews Street, which was built during the reign of Elizabeth I.
The Heritage Centre in Victoria Square houses a museum which includes items from the Roman past, the history of salt and of more recent times its connection with radio broadcasting.
