Solihull

Canoeing, kayaking, or paddleboarding along the Grand Union Canal through the village of Catherine-de-Barnes offers a serene and picturesque experience, blending natural beauty with rich local history. The canal, which is part of a major waterway connecting London to Birmingham, meanders through this quaint village known for its charming 19th-century cottages and historic pub, The Boat Inn, which has served travellers for generations. As you paddle along the tranquil waters towards Knowle, you may encounter a variety of wildlife, including kingfishers, herons, and moorhens, as well as the occasional swan. The lush greenery and overhanging willows provide a peaceful canopy, making it an ideal spot for nature and paddlesport enthusiasts.
