  • 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.

The Localism Act of 2011 gave new rights and powers to local communities which will help us to shape future development at a local level.
