Good towpath and scenic route

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.

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.

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.
