Birmingham has over 56 kilometres of canals more than Venice!
Contrary to popular belief, these canals were not built for their beauty but to transport goods during the Industrial Revolution. Today, they are lined with restaurants, cafés and scenic walkways, making them some of the city’s most enjoyable places to explore.
