The charity making life better by water

Birmingham City Centre

With more miles of canal to explore than Venice has to offer, you won't be short of things to see and do in Birmingham.

Birmingham's waterways make the ideal escape to unwind in the middle of the busy city. There are plenty of green spaces, vibrant waterfront bars and restaurants and historic architecture to admire. Birmingham also boasts an active waterway with lots of cycling, canoeing, paddleboarding and walking routes.
