We are the Sutton Coldfield Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.
An easy 7 mile walk starting from the Bull's Head pub, Barston, heading west up the Blythe river valley on lanes and paths passing under the M42 motorway to join the Grand Union Canal towpath at Copt Heath Wharf. We then continue for about 3 miles going south east, then east on field paths to cross the River Blythe, then return to the Grand Union Canal and back to Barston.
4 stiles. Refreshments available at the pub at the end of the walk.
Guests please contact the walk leader if you would like to join this walk.
We are sorry, but only assistance dogs are permitted on our walks.
