Overview

This walk takes you through Solihull town centre with lovely views of St Alphege Church, through two beautiful parks and along a stretch of the River Blythe. Keep an eye out for the 15th century Manor House on the high street and Joseph Boehm statue in Malvern Park. Option for coffee / cake / lunch at the Manor House (slight detour at the end) for those who wish.  Easy flat walk.  Section along the Blythe could be muddy but rest is good paths. As this is a short walk we will not be stopping for lunch but will stop for drinks / snacks.
