We are the City of Birmingham Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.
Linear walk, 6 miles am. 2.5 miles pm (optional). Lunch at The Drawbridge Inn, Drawbridge Lane, Shirley, B90 1DD. The morning walk is almost completely flat along the Birmingham- Stratford-upon-Avon canal towpath, with a short road walk and path through Kings Norton playing fields to the recently restored Junction House. In the afternoon there is a short walk along the North Worcestershire Path, with some field and lane walking. Leaders: Paul Hatton (morning), Sandra Sutton (afternoon).
BOOKING ESSENTIAL, please use the link above for our booking page.
Our Wednesday walks include a lunchtime pub stop. Requirements for meals from the pub menu are usually requested and ordered before the start of the walk by the leader. Walkers who prefer to take a picnic lunch are welcome to do so and the leader will have a place designated for this somewhere near the pub, in the village, or in the area where we are stopping for lunch.
