バーントグリーンでののおすすめグラベルライド

lovely park with picnic bench

If heading north your about to hit a muddy section of tow path, it’s passable with care is heading south you’ll be glad it’s over lol

Lyon's Boat Yard in Warstock is a historic site that has long been associated with the local canal and boating community. The boatyard was traditionally used for the repair, maintenance, and construction of narrowboats.

This is a popular cycling and walking route that runs through Birmingham. It is approximately 7 miles (11km) long and follows the River Lea from Cannon Hill to Longbridge. It's a green corridor connecting urban areas with pockets of nature, an ideal spot to escape the busy city.

The quiet tree-lined back roads to the north of Redditch, in particular around the Aspley Heath and Portway area, are simply quite blissful to ride on. Here you can enjoy the serenity of lush green countryside, leefy country roads, gentle undulating terrain, and tranquil surroundings, which seems totally at odds with the multitude of nearby urban environments.

Very quiet place, which is popular among runners and walkers. However, Worcestershire&Birmingham channel is relatively well-surfaced at this section (compacted gravel with some cobblestones). So, it can be carefully(!) completed on road bikes with decent tires. If not, then ~1km of pushing in total from the nearest road.

NCN 5 on the way to Redditch crosses the bridge. A brilliant reservoir is only 400 metres (800 in total) of detouring along the channel and definitely worth checking.

Worth a visit not only at sunset!
