Opened in 1807 this humpback bridge is a lovely spot to grab a good view of the canal junction. Be careful it can be slippy when wet.

This junction is where the Birmingham & Worcester canal joins the Stratford-upon-Avon Canal and also where you would turn off to follow the Rea Valley Route towards Longbridge and Waseley Hills.

Here you will find the old toll house currently being refurbished (2022) and an old hump back bridge which is a great spot to admire the lovely view. Be careful here as the bridge is quite steep and can be slippy.

Going up and over the bridge and going along the Stratford-upon-Avon Canal takes you towards Chinn Brook Nature reserve and Earlswood Lakes.

Stay on the Birmingham & Worcester canal to get to Hawkesley.

Really nice stretch of canal either on the way into or on the way back from Birmingham.
