Tardebigge Top Lock is the summit of the 30-lock Tardebigge flight - the longest in the UK. From 1810-1814 it was the site of an experiemental man-powered boat lift.

If you arrive at the Tardebigge marina from the Alcester Road, the canal is downhill all the way to Hanbury, then flat to Worcester. Easier tackled in that direction!

Ride the locks uphill in the dry, for the sense of achievement, but if it is muddy this can be a slog or, going down the locks is probably more fun.
