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

The Bog and area around inspired Tolkien’s writing and imagination. The walk begins with a circuit of Moseley Bog full of wildlife and history, before crossing Swanshurst Park to Shire Country Park. Here we do a loop around the River Cole before returning to the start via John Morris Jones way. Toilets available at the start and finish. Refreshments available at Sarehole Mill. Generally good (sometimes narrow) paths and board walks, with stretches of open meadow walking.
Join our free, led walks to celebrate the Ring of Blossom around Birmingham. All walks start at or close to, the outer circle and are open to Ramblers’ members and non-members.
