    Tips

    January 20, 2020

    Around 160 miles (257 km) of waterways make up the Birmingham Canal Navigations, with over 100 miles (160 km) still navigable today. The Birmingham Canal opened in 1772 to connect Birmingham to the Staffordshire and Worcestershire Canal. Today, you are more likely to see residential and tourist narrow boats traversing the waters than barges carrying goods.

    Many areas along the canal have been redeveloped into lively restaurants and bars, whilst quieter spots are still a haven for wildlife.

      Cycling through the canals and into the city is quite an easy ride with lovely views.

        Birmingham has more canals than Venice, and they are great for cycling.
