Edgbaston and Harborne by towpath from the ICC

This route begins from the rear of the ICC in Birmingham and is about 8 1/2 miles long. From the rear of the ICC the route goes to the Edgbaston Reservoir via the Birmingham Canal, into Summerfield Park and then along the Harborne Walkway into Harborne. The middle section takes in some interesting residential streets, featuring fine examples of Victorian terraces and some of the grandest houses in Birmingham. The last stage picks up the Worcester & Birmingham Canal near the University and returns to the ICC past the Mailbox and Gas Street Basin.
