Overview

This walk is a mixture of quiet lanes, woodland and fields with wonderful scenery in the Burcot area, finished off with the ascent of Coopers Hill and a short stretch on the Worcester & Birmingham canal.

I will be keeping a lookout for anyone arriving by train particularly the 9.45am train from Birmingham New Street to Alvechurch arriving at 10.16.

If sufficient interest, we could visit the Weighbridge Inn at the end of the walk.
