Overview

The walk will take us around Balsall Common,  which historically has been a  large village, but has recently been designated as a new town by Solihull Council. This is a dry walk through a semi-urban area, for those of us wanting a break from wet fields! It is mainly on pavements, lesser roads and hard paths, and takes us through the 3 parks in Balsall Common, Lavender Hall Park, Grange Park and Willow Park.
