We are the City of Birmingham Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.
The 5.5-mile morning route follows the Stratford-on-Avon canal towpath going west through a series of locks before branching off to Lapworth village. From there the route turns north-west to Packwood House, before going east to the Grand Union canal. It then turns south to return to the Navigation Inn. The afternoon is a 3-mile circular walk via Baddesley Clinton and Rowington Green, before rejoining the Grand Union canal to return to The Navigation Inn.

Our Wednesday walks include a lunchtime pub stop. Requirements for meals from the pub menu are usually requested and ordered before the start of the walk by the leader. Walkers who prefer to take a picnic lunch are welcome to do so and the leader will have a place designated for this somewhere near the pub, in the village, or in the area where we are stopping for lunch. Please note, booking for this walk is essential - please us the link below to access our Eventbrite page.
