Overview

An easy, level walk of around 6 miles: starting from Bournville Railway Station, we walk through the Cadbury factory site, then explore the fascinating 'garden village' of Bournville, crossing the landscaped Bournville Park before accessing the Worcester & Birmingham Canal towpath to return to the city centre.

There is an option to shorten the walk by returning from Five Ways Station.
