We are the Sutton Coldfield Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.
A circular 8.5 mile walk starting at Ye Old Saracen's Head Balsall Common CV7 7AS. The route starts on the Millenium Way and onto the Heart of England Way, south to Oldwich House Farm. It then goes along country lanes and tracks to join the Grand Union canal where it goes northward passing the impressive Knowle Locks. The route leaves the canal at Kixley Wharf and crosses fields to Barston and back to the start. The route is flat with no stiles. Lunch break at the Kings Arms Knowle, located on the canal and refreshments available at the end of the walk.
Guests please contact the walk leader if you would like to join this walk.
