Amazing Birmingham canal. I love to use the canal for a different way to travel to the city centre or towards the airport combined with park green spaces. 2wks ago we did digbeth to Brindley place, this week smallheath retail to Sheldon country park and airport. The canal is generally clean easy access some overgrown shrubbery and fly tipping near the bridges and banks but overall such a beautiful place to see nature and breathe easy. On Saturday we saw a baby deer come out to drink I was in awe of that. I didn't know that there was a deer family in the wild in such an urban city. Last time we also helped a barge family open and close the locks it was amazing. If you have the chance walk, cycle on the canal just try it. Start small then increase your distance. At Brindley place there is a hut where you can make donations to keep the canal maintained it is run by volunteers. Please be aware that it's another underground city so do go in groups if you are a female until you get confident about the routes. Fully charge your phone, bring clothing for all weathers and snacks. Keep your location on just in case you have an emergency on the route.
Needs a good lick of paint and about PS10m plugged in to fix it up.
A beautiful piece of history. These canals never disappoint! There is always something to look at whilst walking. Me and some others walked 8 miles, and this was quite a cool part of it. Would go again. I highly recommend!
A place that if developed could give the town so much character. sadly lived there too early ''2000''.
