We are the Redditch Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.
Walk includes Birmingham University Museums and sculptures trail plus a canal walk via an aqueduct and a visit to Bournville Village - passing slowly by Cadbury’s Factory shop (open to the public) and cafe en-route. It is planned to have approx one hour stop at Bournville Village Green to enable members to look around (please bring a packed lunch or plan to buy from the Village shops). As we exit the Village you will have an opportunity to view the Arts and Crafts architectural styles.
