Free entry - and a cafe

decent pub and good food

The bonded warehouse is a historical listed building dating back to 1779 which now runs various events throughout the year. On the other side of Canal St are canal office buildings and a weighbridge from the 1840s

Listed building built around the 1890s to take water back up to the Birmingham Level and Dudley Tunnel from Dudley No1 and No2 Canals.

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.

Nice little sun trap at midday

Beware past Bridge as it gets very overgrown

Lots of cafes closer to the water front and nearby brierley Hill. Nice and bright when lit up at night

Great section with wide paths.

A decent stretch but beware of geese in spring time

Nice little food stop. Decent choice and plenty of seating.

Navigation Pub

Bewdley was once an important inland port, connecting Shrewsbury with the Midlands and the seaports of Gloucester and Bristol. Originally the quays were shorter and had slipways between them. In time, as more landing space was needed, the quayside walls were joined into one continuous length. The larger boats, known as Severn Trows, carried local goods such as rope and charcoal, metal goods from Birmingham and Staffordshire pottery to the south. They returned laden with woollen cloth, wine, spirits, tobacco, sugar, spices, citrus fruit and dried fish to be sold in market towns across the West Midlands and Welsh borders. This civic space was developed when the Environment Agency built the Town's new flood defences, and incorporates work by artist Elizabeth-Jane Grose. On the lower quayside you can find flowing words relating to the river and the vessels that worked on it. On the upper quayside have a look for the 'cargo-plates' recording forty of the common and less common exports and imports to the Port of Bewdley. Source: Environment Agency

Bewdley Bridge over the Severn was built in 1798 by Thomas Telford. It was erected to replace the 1483 medieval bridge that was swept away in the floods of 1795.
