Overview

This walk starts from The Bear pub in Berkswell and takes us across fields towards Millisons Wood and Meriden. We will walk back along the Heart of England Way and will have dramatic views of the Birmingham skyline (if it’s a clear day!). We will have a short break for a snack and a drink at St Laurence Church, a historic Norman church with lovely views.
