Overview

From the RSPB car park we trace part of the nature reserve`s Wetland Trail around lakes and reedbeds created from former gravel pits, to cross the River Tame into Dotshill Nature Reserve. At the former Dotshill Quarry you will discover a centre for scuba diving and other outdoor pursuits. Later the Coventry Canal carries you over  the Tame Aqueduct to the Fazerley Junction where the Birmingham and Fazerley Canal guides you back to Middleton Lakes.
