Bratch Locks were planned and built by James Brindley back in 1772. He constructed two bridges, a toll house and lock keeper’s cottage, all built in mellow brick, making it a favourite photogenic and artistic spot. The entire area forms one of the prettiest groups of canal buildings on any canal system anywhere.

Take the exit off the track here, turn right and follow the road for 500m or so and you can get back onto the canal here to head back towards Wolverhampton
