The Lickey Incline and Tardebigge Flight (12¼ Miles)
The Lickey Incline and Tardebigge Flight (12¼ miles) The walk starts at Stoke Works, criss-crosses the railway uphill with an easy stroll back down the canal towpath. In dry weather only sensible footwear is needed. The link-paths can become muddy and overgrown making boots and trousers sensible at other times. Bring a telephoto lens with your camera. Roadside parking available near start point. There are car parks at Aston Fields and Tardebigge Church. Most public houses will allow walkers to park but please check. Between 1791 and 1815 men toiled to link the Severn at Worcester with Birmingham by canal. In doing so they created the Tardebigge Flight with 30 locks, the longest in the UK followed by a tunnel of 580 yards. Between 1838 and 1841 navvies linked Gloucester and Birmingham by rail. In doing so they built the Lickey Incline - generally regarded as the steepest main line gradient in Britain - 2½ miles at 1 in 37. In two places the walk follows the long distance Monarch’s Way. The future King Charles II fled north after the Battle of Worcester (1651) to Madeley, Shropshire before coming south through Bromsgrove to Stratford, Charmouth and Shoreham The towpath is not a public right of way but the Canal and Rivers Trust allows walkers access. 1. Stoke Works - In 1812 salt was discovered during the building of the canal. In 1825 and 1828 two works developed which, following various financial and technical problems, came under the control of John Corbett, the Salt King in 1852 and 1858. He built an industrial village, including the village school, now converted to dwellings.

Character Appraisal Lickey
Character Appraisal Lickey Just south of the Lickey Hills and running between Twatling Road and Old Birmingham Road is Lickey Square (formerly just The Square) which forms the south side of a triangle ( not a square!) with the north ends of Twatling Road and Old Birmingham Road. In recent years this triangle of land has seen a very large increase in back garden housing development. Virtually every spare piece of land has been built on with the exception of the churchyard extension and along with the Fairways estate and The Glen in Blackwell, Greenfield Avenue in Lickey Grange ward and Cofton Fields estate in Cofton the Lickey Square triangle has the highest density housing in our NDP area. Around and between the settlements are many hectares of meadow and pasture land. Some is being put to good use as pasture for dairy herds eg Yew Tree Farm on Brookhouse Road between Mearse Lane and Littleheath Lane where the former farmstead buildings have been converted to provide five homes whilst the land is used by a tenant dairy farmer. This is land which has great amenity value as green space between our increasingly high-density villages. Tenanted farmland at Yew Tree Farm, Brookhouse Road. ROSE HILL As you climb up Rose Hill from Cofton Hackett you enter the Parish of Lickey and the first building on the right is The Old Rose and Crown Hotel which was a former Coaching Inn at the foot of the Lickey hills Country Park. The Parish of Lickey is in the District of Bromsgrove in the county of Worcestershire.
