Avon Ring, Circular waterway route in Worcestershire, England

The Avon Ring extends through 109 miles of canals and rivers, connecting the River Severn, Stratford-upon-Avon Canal, and Worcester & Birmingham Canal network.

The waterway network developed during the Industrial Revolution, creating vital transportation links between Birmingham, Worcester, and Stratford-upon-Avon for trade purposes.

The route passes through Shakespeare's birthplace in Stratford-upon-Avon, where the Royal Shakespeare Theatre stands next to the Bancroft Basin.

Navigation of the complete circuit requires approximately two weeks and includes 131 locks, with numerous mooring points and supply facilities along the way.

The Tardebigge Lock Flight contains 30 locks in succession, making it the longest collection of narrow locks on the British canal system.
