We are the City of Birmingham Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.

The walk takes in Plantsbrook Nature Reserve and then proceeds along the Plants Brook to Walmley. At Walmley we lunch either at the The Fox Stonehouse pub or picnic nearby. We will order when we get to the pub. The linear option of the walk ends here, after approx 4 miles. Attendees can then return on the X14 bus from the stop opposite the pub to either Birmingham or to Pype Hayes Park to recover their motor car. Those wishing to make this a 6-mile circular walk can accompany the leader to retrace their steps along the Plants Brook to arrive back at Pype Hayes Park. Much of the walk is on hard surfaced paths, but earthen paths with plentiful tree roots and possibly some mud confront us in the Plants Brook Nature Reserve.
