Birmingham’s canal network is one of the city’s best-kept secrets. Stretching through neighbourhoods, parks and quiet residential areas, the towpaths offer peaceful routes away from the busy roads.
And when you add a pizza stop along the way, the walk gets even better.
Start With a Simple Canal Route
Some of the nicest canal walks run through:
-
Bournville
-
Kings Norton
-
Stirchley
-
Selly Oak
These stretches are calm, green, and easy to follow—perfect for a relaxed afternoon stroll.
The All-Important Pizza Stop
Halfway through a walk is usually when the hunger kicks in. That’s where a canal-side pizza boat becomes the perfect stop.
Fresh pizza, cooked to order, right on the towpath:
-
No detours into town
-
No long queues
-
No rushing
Just a warm pizza and somewhere to sit by the water.
Walk, Eat, Repeat
Many people build their canal walks around food stops. A slow wander, a pizza break, and then an easy walk back.
It’s simple, but it works every time.
