Titford Canal


Despite the ice we made it safely to Dudley where we went to Tesco and had our eyes tested! Thankfully by the time we left it had all melted. We left there on Saturday then with an overnight stop we set off yesterday for the Titford Canal. The approach to the arm is under the M5.
Under the M5. A whole separate world down there!

Quite atmospheric under the motorway, thankfully it wasn't far and we were back in the open again and at the bottom of the 6 locks leading up to the Titford Pumping Station.
Titford Pumping Station at the top of the locks.

We stopped here at the top for coffee and lunch before heading the mile to where the Canal now ends. Again under the M5. Some large pools there and lots of water birds. Beautiful if you could take the road away!
Below is one of the bridges we went under! Today we have come back down the locks. Can't go too far as at some point we have to collect our glasses.

This must be where rice comes from!
