Such a towpath (known in German as a towpath or Leinpfad), which runs alongside the river or canal, was an essential part of the transport infrastructure in earlier times. Before ships could move by motor power, horses walked along the bank, pulling the boat against the current. This activity was called "treideln" in German, and thus the "treidelpfad" got its name. Where these paths – running directly along the bank – have survived to this day, they no longer serve their original purpose, but are still popular: namely, with hikers and cyclists.

Rivers and canals crisscross the country, as they were a crucial part of the transport infrastructure – especially in the early days of industrialization. Factories needed the delivery of raw materials in previously unknown quantities, and finished goods also had to find their way to traders. Many of the canals originated in this era. Later, rail and, even later, trucks took over the task of transporting goods. When building the artificial waterways, however, it was important to consider that differences in elevation always had to be overcome, and so locks are often located along the canals – at varying intervals, depending on the local situation. Only with their help was shipping possible.

An excellent link network for walking and cycling

Bodymoor Heath Bridge is a place on the waterways on the Birmingham Canal Navigations (Birmingham and Fazeley Canal - Main Line) between Drayton Manor Bridges (There are two bridges here, a foot bridge and a swing bridge. These days the swing bridge is usually open.) (3 miles and 2 locks to the north) and Dickens Bridge (Minworth) (4 miles and 1¼ furlongs and 9 locks to the southwest). It is part of Curdworth Locks. The nearest place in the direction of Drayton Manor Bridges is Bodymoor Heath Wharf; ¼ furlongs away. The nearest place in the direction of Dickens Bridge is Cheatles Farm Bridge; 1 furlong away.

Nice quiet spot to rest. You can take the path down Attleboro lane over the motorways for a shortcut, but you would have to lift your bike over the barriers.

Good spot for a picnic

Narrow tow path through the tunnel and gets surprisingly dark considering it’s only 50m but can play tricks with your eyes. Good fun though!

Not much options here apart from heading along the canal
