레디치 주변 최고의 그래블 라이딩 코스

Imagine riding between a dual carriageway

John Corbett Way

At the time of writing- very challenging path, avoid if with children

Watch out for walkers around some of the locks. Few blind corners.

I’ve just popped to Sainsbury’s for a few missing items… safe and sound journey using the cycleway!! 👍👍👍

this is cycling infrastructure the way it should be - pity it is such a rare example in the city

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

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.

A recent "renovation" has covered half the Greenway (the half closer to Stratford) in loose pea gravel. It is an uncomfortable and unstable ride and very frustrating compared to the much nicer second half, even if the second half is narrower and has a few potholes here and there. Best to come prepared for that.

Lickey Hill bridal path

The longest canal aqueduct in England is said to be 145m long and was built between 1793 and 1812. The iron canal is navigated by narrow, purpose-built ships and the locks are operated by hand. There is a small parking lot below the viaduct. From there you can take a staircase directly to the canal.

Lock along the Worcester - Birmingham channel, the road surface is quite good

As you walk along the Worcester and Birmingham Canal, you'll be treated to magnificent views that encompass the reservoir, charming narrow boats, and the picturesque countryside that surrounds you.

Lovely views off the bridge with Suppe reflections in the river below

Quite busy with walkers at weekends. Speed limited to 5mph with some narrow sections.

Tardebigge top lock, 1st of 30

Great place to grab breakfast

Could be slippy. Watch out for slime on the concrete!!
