Overview

An easy, leisurely ramble, along even paths and tracks, with no significant gradients. We start at the Dog & Doublet pub in Bodymoor Heath, walking along the canal towpath for half a mile, before turning into the Water Park. Here we loop and meander around the lakes in the direction of Kingsbury Village, before heading towards the Visitor Centre where there is a cafe and picnic tables. We return along a stretch of canal towpath to the Dog & Doublet where drinks are available.

There are no stiles and there are spotless toilets one mile into the walk.
