John Corbett Way

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

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.

There's a step-free footbridge to the side, and picnic tables to stop for a few minutes. Advised to use the bridge by local cyclists, as the bottom of the ford is very slippy.

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.
