Free entry - and a cafe

decent pub and good food

Bratch Locks is said to be one of the prettiest sets of canal buildings on the Staffordshire and Worcestershire Canal. It was opened in 1772 and includes the lock, a bridge, the lockkeepers cottage and a toll-house. Today the towpath offers miles of easy traffic free cycling and a safe way between Wombourne and Wolverhampton.

Cafe opposite side to the Lock pub

Bratch Locks were planned and built by James Brindley back in 1772. He constructed two bridges, a toll house and lock keeper’s cottage, all built in mellow brick, making it a favourite photogenic and artistic spot. The entire area forms one of the prettiest groups of canal buildings on any canal system anywhere.
