Overview

This is a 4-mile circular walk from Erdington train station. The walk will be entirely on hard surfaces, on the streets and in a park, pausing to give historical information at specific points of interest along the way – no stiles, no field paths, passing some of the district’s historic areas. There will be a stop for toilets and lunch, either picnic or purchased, midway through the walk on Erdington High Street.
