The canal after Kinver becomes quite dramatic in places as it passes through deep cuttings with sheer stone cliffs to one side.

The main street of Cookley is above the canal
Fancy having a canal tunnel directly under your house!!!!
Debdale lock has it’s own cave!
At Wolverly there are plenty of gongoozerlers in the adjacent Lock Pub
The nearby village centre of Wolverly is very old and historic
It’s nice to see that the new housing approaching Kidderminster faces the canal instead of turning it’s back on it
We met Jeremy and Dorothy on Unicorn. We had spent and evening with them 2 years ago at Trevor on the Llangollen canal. Jeremy has written a book of a rooky American canal boater from Massachusetts in the late 60’s They operated the boat as a hotel boat for 28 years. Dorothy comes from an old canal family on the Stratford canal and had been involved in canals all her life. The book is called “innocents afloat by Jeremy Scanlon and is recommended.
