M5 bridge near Smite Hill

The little-used farm track is purely for connecting fields and to take the public footpath. Very much a tunnel under the motorway.

Footpath to Tibberton

Not much evidence of use for this public footpath, which heads south-east towards the houses at Tibberton Bridge.

Last year's reed crop is still standing in April as the houses on the south side of the canal at Tibberton catch the evening sun.

Tibberton on the Worcester and Birmingham Canal

Mooring south west of the Bridge Inn at Tibberton on the Worcester and Birmingham Canal. It seems to be a busy place even early in summer when we were there. The pub had a strange collection of pottery ladies underwear for sale on the windowsills!
