Tardebigge Circular Walk

This walk has been created to lead you around the wharf. It takes you past lock 58 on the Worcester & Birmingham Canal, one of the 30 locks in the Tardebigge lock flight - the longest in the country.

Starting at the new wharf cottages, walk behind the Dry Dock and basin to reach the Canal's towpath. Walk past the top lock until you reach the bridge. Cross over the bridge and walk back along the towpath on the other side of the canal. At Top Lock cottage take a right and head for the church.

Crossing the front of the church, walk through the car park and back towards the canal until you come back to the towpath opposite The Old Mill. Turn right onto the towpath and head towards Tardebigge Tunnel. At the entrance, come up onto the road turning left to pass Plymouth House and back to the road on the left which leads you to your starting point.
