West Midlands

Just over half of Birmingham's population is within walking distance of their local canal we officially have ‘More Canals Than Venice!'

Once at the heart of the industrial revolution, a place of trade, today they are at the core of our national waterways network and play a central role in helping you live a happier, healthier life.
