We are the Solihull Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.

This a 10 mile walk starting from the Crown Inn in Withybed Green, Alvechurch. As the name suggests this is a hilly walk but most of the hills are in the first half of the walk and after lunch we walk down throughohe woods, then pass Cofton Hacket Church and the Two Bittler reservoirs before joining the Worcestershire and Birmingham canal to walk back to The Crown Inn.
This is a lovely varied walk over green fields, country lanes, beautiful woods and a golf course. There are some lovely views from the highest point of the LIckeys and from the top of Billberry Hill. We shall be stopping for lunch at the Lickey Hills Visitor centre, but you need to bring your own refreshments as the Cafe there is now closed. There are toilets available there.
If you would like to car share, we are meeting at Lady Byron Lane, Knowle (Old Warwick Road) Solihull B93 9AG (near J5 of the M42) for a departure time of 9:15 am. Lifts are subject to availability. This is a round trip of approx. 30 miles and a voluntary donation of £6 is considered to be a reasonable contribution towards the costs incurred by the driver.
The walk starts from the car park of the Crown Inn in Withybed Green, Alvechurch. As we are parking in their car park it would be expected that you buy a drink there after the walk. obviously car sharing would be helpful.
