Known locally as "the Curly Wryley", the Wyrley and Essington Canal runs from Wolverhampton to near Lichfield. The canal was completed in 1797 to transport coal from mines in Wryley to Wolverhampton and Walsall. Today, the canal is a peaceful place that is home to diverse wildlife. It has been a designated Local Nature Reserve since 2008.
