Join Richard to discover a surprising walking route around the lakes, streams and canals of this historic area of Birmingham.

We tried this ramble barely six months ago, but due to covid restrictions only a few people were able to enjoy it. So we're offering it again as it was a really fascinating and enjoyable route.

This idea came about due to the enthusiasm of Spice member and conservation volunteer David Fernie who introduced me to some lesser known gems in this remarkable area. We follow a surprising belt of green spaces including a secret lake, a reservoir with no water, a picturesque reed bed, the site of a watermill that survived until the 1950's and much more besides. We will also find the Worcester - Birmingham Canal and discover the conservation area of St Nicholas Place with its historic church and medieval buildings.

We also pass through Bournville Village and see the pioneering work of the Cadbury family and perhaps smell the chocolate!

Expect around 3 hours of lovely, easy walking.

Host & Everything Else

Before You Go

Can walks with groups of more than 6 take place in England, given the new tiers system and ‘rule of six’ restrictions on social gatherings?

Organised group walks are categorised as Outdoor Physical Activity and are in a public outdoor space, which is allowed in all three tiers.

Also, as we are an organisation and have already met the protocols to reduce the risks with the relevant risk assessments and COVID checks in place, including a robust track and trace capability, we are exempt from the “Rule of 6”.

We have confirmed this with the Government website and appropriate governing bodies.

This means that we can continue to organise group walks for up to 30 people, as long as we follow COVID-secure guidance.

See the link to our News Item for more details.

Rest assured that we are following the government guidelines closely, and if anything changes we will adapt as appropriate.
