Overview

This Wednesday walk starts at Selly Park Tavern. Hopping into Canon Hill Park we head south beside the River Rea then turn uphill towards Highbury park. Here we aim for the Hall before taking a turn around the arboretum and duck pond. Exiting the park via the orchard, we are on roads to Moseley Hall hospital, taking a path through the grounds to the dove cote. We then turn towards Moseley Village and into Moseley private park. After exploring this little gem and its ponds, we head towards Canon Hill Park, weaving our way round boating ponds before exiting to arrive at Selly Park Tavern for lunch. If members desire a stroll after lunch there will be an opportunity to take a circuit round Holders Lane woods, no doubt to the tune of parakeets! Distances Morning: 5.5 miles, total climb 275feet. Afternoon, 2 miles.
