Narrowboat Hire – Birmingham and Fazeley Canal

Cruising your hireboat out of the centre of Birmingham for the first few miles on the Birmingham and Fazeley Canal is exciting, squeezing into a cascade of narrow locks, between the high walls and beneath tower blocks and a spiders web of motorways, until you reach more open skies and countryside. But the real beauty of this canal is the places it can take you to!

  • The Birmingham & Fazeley Canal was built to be a main connection between Birmingham and the rest of the developing canal system, and that is still its main use, part of a useful north-south route with the Coventry Canal.
  • Farmers Bridge locks take you out of the city centre beneath buildings and high brick walls.
  • Salford Junction where three canals meet lies beneath Spaghetti (motorway) Junction which serves 18 road routes and also bridges two railway lines and two rivers.
  • Drayton Manor Theme Park is close to the canal near Fazeley Junction.
  • The B & F is part of the Black Country Ring which forms a loop around the north of Birmingham into Staffordshire. With a lot of locks, cruisable in a week, just!
  • The B & F also is part of the Warwickshire Ring to the southeast of Birmingham through Warwick and Leamington Spa which also can be cruised in a week, just!
