Overview

Back by popular demand, we kick-start a new year and a new programme with a leisurely 6.5 mile walk around Sutton Park, an easily-accessible mixture of wood, heath, parkland, lakes and ponies. All abilities welcome, well-behaved dogs too. Meet at the Visitor Centre at 10.30 am. There is a train at 9.46 from Birmingham New Street which arrives at Sutton Coldfield at 10.07 from which it is a short walk to the start point. Bring a flask and a packed lunch.
