About the route

The Grand Union canal begins under Spaghetti Junction beside Star City, and the towpath provides a traffic free route through Bordesley, Small Heath and Acocks Green. Cycle to work on Tyseley Industrial Estate, to a match at the Blues Ground or to an outdoor adventure at the Ackers. Access from the towpath onto the Cole Valley Route means you can continue off road to Shard End in the East and Yardley Wood in the South (where you can join the Stratford-upon-Avon canal).
