Geo-Trips :: Cycling the Worcester and Birmingham Canal

Worcester and Birmingham Canal

A cycle ride from Birmingham, Sat, 20 Apr 2013 by Philip Halling

The Worcester and Birmingham Canal links the River Severn at Worcester and the heart of the city of Birmingham; it is 30 miles long and has 59 locks. For many years I have intended walking the towpath; I did start it three years ago but walked only as far as the junction with the Droitwich Canal. To complete the length of the canal in one day I decided to cycle the towpath from Birmingham back down to Worcester. To do this I took the train into Birmingham and alighted at the University Station, where being a fine spring morning I took the opportunity to photograph the hospital and university, before cycling into Gas Basin in Birmingham. I then turned round and cycled all the way back to Worcester. I cycled the canal’s entire length except for the last mile or so into Diglis Basin in Worcester and where the canal meets the River Severn. Basically I have photographed this part of the canal on a number of previous occasions. This was a great day with the canal providing a contrasting vista both urban Birmingham and rural Worcestershire.

Click the blue circles to see a photograph taken from that spot and read further information about the location. The blue lines indicate the direction of view. There is also a slideshow of this trip. ( )
