Overview

A pleasant, varied walk following woodland, canal and field paths - pasture and arable - with good views. It is mainly flat with some undulations and one stile. There may be some mud, so gaiters and walking poles are advisable. Fom the Visitor Centre, we go downhill towards Cofton Hackett, following the path to Upper Bittell Reservoir, Hopwood and Hopwood Dingle. We then follow the canal, turning off to pass between Upper and Lower Bittell reservoirs to Barnt Green and back to the cafe at the Visitor Centre.
