Welcome to Rushall Canal

Rushall Canal is a beautiful waterway located in Staffordshire, England. It was built in the early 19th century to transport coal from the local mines to the industrial areas of the Black Country. The canal is approximately 7 miles long and runs from Birchills Junction to Rushall Junction. It is a popular destination for walkers, cyclists, and anglers, who come to enjoy the peaceful surroundings and abundant wildlife.

The canal is home to a variety of fish, including roach, bream, perch, and pike. Anglers can be seen lining the banks, hoping to catch a big one. The canal is also a haven for birdwatchers, with kingfishers, herons, and swans among the many species that can be spotted. The towpath is a popular route for walkers and cyclists, who can enjoy the tranquil scenery and fresh air.

The canal is steeped in history, with many of the original features still intact. The locks, bridges, and aqueducts are a testament to the engineering skills of the time. The canal played an important role in the industrial revolution, and its legacy can still be seen today. Rushall Canal is a hidden gem in the heart of Staffordshire, offering a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle of modern life.

Oily Gough Local Nature Reserve
Oily Goughs Is A Site That We Have Done Lots Of Work On Recently. After A Series Of Amphibian Surveys (To Make Sure There Were No Protected Species On Site), We Have Reprofiled The Pond At The Southern End Of The Site. It Had Been Very Overgrown With Reeds, And Was Almost Completely Dried Up This Year. After Relocating Some Fish And Other Animals, We Scraped A New Profile For The Pond, Which Should Refill Over The Winter And Look Fabulous By Summer 2012! There Are Two Other Pools Ate Oily Goughs (Which Was Named After A Man Named Gough Who Used To Sell Scrap Oil On The Site Many Years Ago!). Caravan 13 Willenhall Ln Walsall Lancashire WS2 7NN 3.53 miles There Is No Parking For This Park, So You Have To Park On The Opposite Side Of The Road Next To The School. There Is A Wooden Nature Reserve Sign That Is Visible From The Kerb Side So You Will Not Miss It. I Would Recommend Dogs On Leads From The Car To The Big Field Which They Are Free To Run Wild.
