The Worcester and Birmingham Canal

After a Parliamentary Bill in 1791 and several Acts were passed, construction of the canal was allowed. Construction begain in 1792 in Birmingham; progress was very slow but was eventually completed in 1815. The canal forms part of the Stourport Ring, a series of canals forming a canal ring around Worcestershire, The Black Country and Birmingham. The route includes flights of locks and two of the longest navigable tunnels on the United Kingdom network. 

​The Worcester and Birmingham Canal is for the active or canal enthusiast as it includes 58 locks, including the famous Tardebigge flight of 30 locks in 2 miles, tunnels and swing bridges.
