Overview

An easy, attractive route of around 6 miles in an urban area connecting three of South Birmingham's best parks: Kings Heath Park, Highbury Park and Cannon Hill Park. We start in front of the Victorian Tea Rooms in Kings Heath Park with its links to horticulture and the Television Gardens; then the more natural Highbury Park, the former estate of Joseph Chamberlain, before visiting Cannon Hill Park - the premier Victorian Park. We walk along pavements and gravelled paths. 

There are opportunities for refreshments at Kings Heath and Cannon Hill Parks.
