Time

10:15am

Meet 10:15 for a 10:30 start on Thursday 7th November 2024 in the car park of The White Horse, Kingsbury Road, Curdworth, Sutton Coldfield B76 9DS.

This is an easy 4 mile walk on level ground with no stiles, across fields, on quiet country roads and along the towpath . We first head towards Curdworth tunnel, but instead of passing through it we climb the steps beside it to pick up a path that crosses an agricultural field. From there we walk along Blindpit Lane to the church at Wishaw where we will visit an intriguing grave. We carry on to Over Green and from there it is downhill towards the canal at Wiggins Hill Road Bridge., from which point we walk on the towpath back to our starting point.

Waterway underfunding

Hundreds of miles of waterways – along with their unique heritage and habitats – are currently starved of funding and rely on constant lobbying by us to safeguard their future.

Sustainable Boating

We want boating on canals and rivers to be more sustainable and – even though the current overall contribution to UK carbon emissions is very small – we want to help reduce emissions on the waterways.

Waterways Heritage at Risk

Britain’s canals and rivers are a unique, living heritage. But that heritage is at risk – from urban development, lack of protection, loss of skills and knowledge and climate change.

You can help Save Waterways Heritage.

Waterway restoration

Restoring the UK’s blue infrastructure – our inherited network of navigable canals and rivers – is good for people and places.
