Explore Birmingham - Under Spaghetti Tour

Spice Exclusive Event!

You’ve driven over it many times but now we have an opportunity to have a look underneath!

Under Spaghetti tour takes you to a startling and unique space few people seek out - underneath the Gravelly Hill Interchange aka Spaghetti Junction.

Famous (and infamous) across the UK, it’s one of the best known landmarks in the city. Its tangle of roads can strike fear into wary drivers and it often holds a dark place in the psyche of the city, but is this a misunderstood beast?

Thundering high above our walking route are the roads of one of the UK's most complex pieces of road infrastructure. Below is an exhilarating space of canals, rivers, a park, a lake, towpaths, wildlife and street art.

It may not be conventionally pretty, but this gritty, urban underworld has a unique atmosphere which you have to experience to appreciate. A must for photographers.

Old canal architecture is strikingly juxtaposed with modern road infrastructure, much of it covered in street art. It truly feels like entering another world. Sometimes described as dystopian, the spaces created have provided the backdrop for art exhibitions, dance events and films.

The tour explores the legacy of this extraordinary monument, now over 50 years old, the story of its construction, how it shattered communities and inspired others.

The tour is around 2 miles and lasts approximately an hour and 45 mins.

The tour ends in Salford Park (near to the car park) where you can linger if you wish, otherwise the guide will escort guests back to Aston station.
