St. Peters Fields, Droitwich Spa

Dr Shirley Jones, who was once the town's General Practitioner,
had a vision to protect the town's remaining areas of open land so
they could be used by the people of the town for recreation and
also benefit wildlife.
The land, formerly used for agriculture, was known as St Peters
Fields and was transferred to the town in 1951 for ten
shillings.
These Fields are linked to Lido park, you can walk straight from
one to the other and are managed to be natural in appearance
with undulating slopes, longer grass areas and plantations of trees
with the stream running into Bishops pool.
This open space has been awarded Green Flag status (in
combination with Lido Park) for the first time this year
2011/12.
