Overview

An easy, level walk of around 7 miles through the River Tame Valley. We start at Perry Hall Park, skirting the grounds of the former Elizabethan mansion, Perry Hall, and following the waterside Tame Valley Way to Forge Mill Reservoir and the Sandwell Valley Nature Reserve - our coffee stop. We then make our way to the Tame Valley Canal towpath, passing the Alexander Stadium and Perry Reservoir, a haven for waterfowl, before returning to Perry Hall Park.
