A video of me cycling up the Tardebigge Lock Flight on a beautiful Autumnal day

    Tardebigge Locks or the Tardebigge Flight is the longest flight of locks in the UK, comprising 30 narrow locks on a two-and-a-quarter-mile (3.6 km) stretch of the Worcester and Birmingham Canal at Tardebigge, Worcestershire. It raises the waterway 220 feet (67 m), and lies between the Tardebigge tunnel (580 yards or 530 metres long) to the North and the Stoke Prior flight of six narrow locks to the South. The Tardebigge Engine House is also on this stretch.

    The video is running at 2x speed but shows the whole length. Clearly a popular route with all the anglers, walkers and cyclists (there were a number of other cyclists when I went down before turning around to ride back up)

    A great engineering achievement to open the country up to greater trade over 200 years ago, and now providing great out door places to visit and enjoy

    Thanks for watching
