Overview

 The walk is approximately 3 miles, will be easy-paced so we can enjoy the attractive surroundings and trees hopefully in blossom.  Our route includes a circuit round Grove Park, a public right of way across Harborne golf course, Queens Park and finally a very pleasant road with wide tree-lined wide verges to Lordswood Road on the Outer Circle route.  We finish right opposite The Old House at Home, so an  opportunity for morning tea/coffee for those who wish before catching our buses home.
