Diglis Island and Fish Pass

On Diglis Island, learn about the rich navigational history of the Severn, step into the Victorian workshop where lock gates were once made, and find out about the plight of a once-renowned fish species.

The fish pass is a feat of engineering and one of the four fish passes, created to allow fish to swim around large weirs on the River Severn.  It also has its own underwater viewing gallery (the only one in the UK), where visitors have the chance to spot different species swimming through the pass.

Throughout the year, you can join a guided tour of the two sites, visit the fish pass during a drop-in session, take part in a family event or just enjoy refreshments from the Diglis Island Café whilst enjoying the views of the River Severn towards Worcester Cathedral.
