Overview

This is a five-mile circular walk, starting at Kings Norton Recreation Ground.

The route takes us through Kings Norton Park and onto the cycle path alongside the River Rea. We will walk through sections of the Kings Norton Nature reserve and West Heath Park as well as along some local roads and snickets.

There will be the opportunity to stop for refreshments at “The Navigation” as we near the end of the walk.
