Stoke Pound

united kingdom

Stoke Pound lies in central Worcestershire along the Worcester and Birmingham Canal, reached via Junction 5 of the M5 then the A38 towards Droitwich. Most visitors come from Birmingham (30km) or Worcester, with the A449 providing the main north-south route and local roads connecting to Bromsgrove. The village sits in gentle countryside where canal pounds create level stretches of water between the lock systems that give the place its distinctive name.
