The Birmingham Stratford-upon-Avon canal provides a stark contrast between the very modern represented by the Dickens Heath development and the tranquillity of the waterway. The canal towpath provides a perfect retreat to enjoy the countryside whether you are on a boat, walking or cycling. It was clearly thirsty work on a canal barge as you will find a pub practically every couple of miles close to the canal towpath.
