Cycling along the Birmingham & Fazeley Canal is a fantastic way to experience a mix of urban and rural scenery. The towpath offers a smooth and relatively flat ride, making it accessible for cyclists of all levels. As you pedal along, you’ll pass a blend of industrial landmarks, green spaces, and historic canal architecture, including locks and old brick bridges.
