Description
We cruise cruise clockwise around the Black Country Ring, starting at Old Turn Junction. We’ll use the Old Main Line for our journey through the Birmingham Canal Navigations and descend the Wolverhampton 21 locks to reach Aldersley Junction.
The individual locks of the Staffs & Worcester Canal and the Trent & Mersey Canal take us through Great Haywood Junction to Fradley Junction.
A lock free section leads us Fazeley Junction before we climb the locks of the Birmingham & Fazeley Canal to return to Birmingham.
Around the ring we see a delightful mixture of urban and rural scenes.
