Stourport Ring

It's one of the Heart of England's best-kept secrets, but for boaters in the know, the Stourport Ring has all the ingredients of an ideal holiday. For sheer variety, it is almost without parallel. In the space of a few hours, you can travel from the cosmopolitan heart of Birmingham, through the Black Country with its evocative reminders of our industrial past, to the tranquillity of rural England at its best.

We've prepared a special micro-site detailing everything you'll find around the Stourport Ring, with colourful maps and a magazine for you to download.
