We are the South Birmingham Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.
I'd be happy to arrange car share from Cotteridge if anyone interested but would need as much notice as possible. (I'll ask John to post details if there is much demand)
There is a choice of routes, either using the M6 junctions 6 to 7 of leaving the A38 at St Chads Queensway (Childrens Hospital) to follow the Walsall Road. When crossing/leaving the motorway junction (Great Barr) continue on the A34 to the first roundabout. Take 3rd exit to follow A4148 to Broadway North(ring road). Go straight over 2 roundabouts and shortly after the Toby Carvery and the Grange Playhouse look for the entrance to the Grange Car Park on your right.
This is a totally flat but varied walk with no stiles but plenty of mud in places.
There is a chance of spotting wild life in the country park.
People might choose to abandon the walk at the Arboretum Tea Shop close to the end.
The Start point The Grange Car Park, Broadway N, WS1 2QB (This is not the Arboretum end of the park)
