Windmill End

Windmill End sits on the Dudley No2 Canal and is the perfect spot for a family afternoon of exploring the canalside. Enjoy a waterside walk, keeping an eye out for the historic Cobbs Engine House and beautiful cast iron bridges.

Take bikes along and follow one of the designated trails, or relax with a picnic and watch out for passing boats and wildlife - you might be lucky enough to spot a grey heron or water vole!
