Quitting Cuckoo Road - Aston, Birmingham
Leaving Cuckoo Road to take the ramp down to the cut and a walk on the towpath of the Birmingham and Fazeley Canal. The towpath where the horses used to haul is now used by walkers and cyclists and is part of NCN 535 from Birmingham to Sutton Coldfield with route maintenance and signing carried out by British Waterways and Sustrans Local Groups. The towpath makes a good day's walking from Birmingham with return transport by bus or train from Tamworth. Work on the Fazeley section of the canal started in 1786 and the canal was finally completed in 1789 after many disputes with the contractors who had been engaged for the work. Time taken 12.01 pm BST (British Summer Time).
