The Two Tunnel Tour
The Trip
The trip boat sets out from The Portal through the Dudley Tunnel then down a striking flight of locks at the Parkhead Conservation Area, along the Dudley number 2 Canal before arriving at Bumble Hole Nature Reserve and the historic Cobbs Engine House.
Here we stop for a 30 minute refreshment stop before continuing through the Netherton Tunnel, up Factory Locks onto the Birmingham and Wolverhampton main line before returning to Dudley Canal and Tunnel Trust.
We have the option of open and closed boats so whatever the weather may offer we can ensure your travel in comfort.
There is a toilet on the boat which is available for the public..
We regret we do not have wheelchair access on the boats for the open water trips.
Tips to make your trip more enjoyable
Bring a cushion - though you can stand up, get off the boat and move around its always nice to have a comfortable seat.
Though you can purchase refreshments at Bumblehole you can also pack a picnic to enjoy on the boat or in the nature reserve. Alternatively why not book a picnic from our Gongoozler Restaurant - it can be waiting for you at the start of your trip.
Bring a camera - this trips takes you through an amazing landscape rich with heritage, engineering feats in canal building and amazing wildlife.
Start the day right with a Gongoozler Breakfast - on offer everyday in our restaurant.
