Perfect route for beginners or just to relax and unwind. Cruise down the ‘Staffie’ canal to join the Shropshire Union to Norbury, taking in the villages of Brewood and Wheaton Aston on the way. Pretty countryside and plenty of places to stop for a drink too.
Secret stories lie hidden in the landscape of this route as it skips through sheep-filled countryside with idyllic locks and charismatic red-brick bridges. In only three nights away on the water, you’re treated to unforgettable days full of tranquil drama.
More InformationA lazy, leafy, mostly lock-free journey along the canal that refused to climb hills. Your route will lead you through unusual canal cuttings, over bridges and aqueducts and take you on a deliciously green tour that merely skims the distant outskirts of the urban Midlands before bursting into the tranquil haven of the Shropshire countryside.
