Birmingham Blog (Canals) - Visit Birmingham

There are hundreds of miles of canals to explore in the West Midlands, taking narrowboat holiday-makers through beautiful stretches of countryside, past historic canalside pubs and into the heart of Birmingham and Stratford-upon-Avon.

A new community-focused market designed to bring neighbours together after the pandemic is launching next month. 

Due to popular demand, eco-friendly, electric boat company GoBoat has today announced the opening of a brand-new Birmingham location, their first site outside of the capital, with bookings now open to the public.

Britain’s ‘second city’ is its own world, with unique customs. Get to know the unspoken lay of the land.

The sound of the rippling water, the sun beaming down on you and a glass of vino in your hand, this is why the canals make the perfect backdrop to your summer.
