모튼 바곳 주변 최고의 그래블 라이딩 코스

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.

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

This is one of England's tallest remaining maypoles. It is a striped pole that stands over 20 metres high. It has been present since the days of Shakespeare, and its original incarnation was made of wood (until it was struck by lightning and destroyed). The current pole is made of aluminium and is officially a Grade II historical monument listed by English Heritage.

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.

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.

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.
