Sherborne Wharf

Sherborne Wharf, based canal side in Birmingham city centre is a lovely day out, especially if you’ve not been before.
You have to visit Sherborne Wharf to be able to hire one of the public available barges, as most of the small barges around the canals are privately owned and not accessible.
They do tours through all the canals, and is a great local and somewhat different way of seeing the local canal and Brindley place tourist haunts. It’s quieter in the morning, and you may find a bit of a queue during the weekend.
Sitting on the barges, yes they are a little small on the inside, but worth the experience! Mind your head if your tall like me. Great to just relax, maybe take some food with you, or, take the dog down by the canal side.
Easily reached from Broad Street, a short walk from the Mailbox and round the corner from Brindley place. A lovely and idyllic way to spend an afternoon.
