点评:My friends and I had hired a narrowboat and we travelled along the Stratford Upon Avon Canal from Kings Norton Junction to Kingswood Junction and back. The top part of the canal has a variety of different scenery including former industrial, residential and also going through beautiful countryside.
I would recommend stopping at Bridge 20 and visiting Wedges Bakery for some excellent cakes, pasties, bread and more. It is only a stone's throw from the canal and it is easy to moor up here.
We travelled down the Lapworth Flight and the locks were well maintained. There is some beautiful architecture to admire like the lock cottages and the bridges over the canal.
It was also curious to see some tiny little figurines on some of the locks. People were putting these on the locks for some reason. can anyone enlighten me?
We travelled in rain and shine and the scenery was beautiful in all weathers.

我推荐在20号桥 (Bridge 20) 停靠,去韦奇斯面包店 (Wedges Bakery) 品尝美味的蛋糕、馅饼、面包等等。面包店离运河很近,而且停泊也很方便。
我们沿着拉普沃斯船闸 (Lapworth Flight) 航行,船闸维护得很好。沿途还有一些美丽的建筑值得欣赏,比如船闸小屋和横跨运河的桥梁。
我还注意到一些船闸上放着一些小雕像,不知道是什么原因,有人知道吗?
我们风雨无阻地游览了这段旅程,无论天气如何,沿途的风景都美不胜收。
