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 Dosthill Nature Reserve. At the former Dosthill 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 Fazeley Junction where the Birmingham and Fazeley Canal guides you back to Middleton Lakes. Joint walk with Sandwell and Wolverhampton Ramblers.
