The walk starts at Bournbrook Inn and heads toward the River Rea where the route turns south through a community orchard and vegetable beds. Back on the Rea Valley path the route weaves its way to the Worcester and Birmingham Canal, on to the Breedon Cross and around to Cotteridge Park. There we can stop for coffee, spot the erratics and visit another orchard. From the park it’s uphill to the Ladies Garden before returning to the Bournbrook Inn via the Station. 3 ½ miles, 150ft climb.
