The once-derelict Walsall Town Wharf has been re-developed, and now has an acclaimed art gallery. The Town Arm of the canal got so run-down it was on the point of being lost forever, but is now totally transformed.
It provides moorings for boaters and access to the town's attractions, including the Leather Museum, Walsall Arboretum and the Jerome K Jerome Birthplace Museum.
For nature lovers, walking enthusiasts and cyclists, the canals in Walsall are part of a network of routes connecting the town centre to the surrounding countryside.
