Alvechurch Marina

Cruising from Alvechurch delves into the varied landscape of 5 Midlands counties with a rich mixture of sights and scenery - modern & historic, rural & industrial. Locks are met in majestic flights in this part of the country, so be prepared for some good bursts of activity.
The marina is at the heart of an extremely varied canal network, with a fine selection of ring routes. Features include the impressive 30 lock Tardebigge flight.

• Excellent selection of week-long cruises including Stratford & return or The Stourport Ring, and Black Country Ring
• A good area for plenty of locks
• Enjoy a short break into the centre of Birmingham – the Gas Street basin, with no locks !
• The marina itself is just 10 minutes from junction 2 of the M42, half way between the cities of Worcester and Birmingham - by road or by canal!

Alvechurch Marina has its own cosy canal-side pub 'The Weighbridge', serving real ales and bar food.
