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

WALK DESCRIPTION: Walk leader : Brenda Cameron. Distance of walk: 7.75 miles – morning 4.5 miles, afternoon 3.25 miles. The pub is on the edge of Birmingham suburbs with some very attractive countryside to the south which our routes will follow. The morning walk partly following the North Worcestershire Path includes Wast Hill – more of a slope really! – a pleasant woodland path then field paths and a quiet lane back to the pub for lunch. One or two stiles on the route and a modest gradual ascent. After lunch the route is south-west towards Bittell reservoir and Hopwood again following part of the North Worcestershire Path then another field path back towards the pub. Again, one or two stiles and a short easy ascent.
BOOKING ESSENTIAL, please use the link above for our booking page.
Our Wednesday walks include a lunchtime pub stop. Requirements for meals from the pub menu are usually requested and ordered before the start of the walk by the leader. Walkers who prefer to take a picnic lunch are welcome to do so and the leader will have a place designated for this somewhere near the pub, in the village, or in the area where we are stopping for lunch.
JOINING INSTRUCTIONS: Meet by 10.30 am at The Man on the Moon pub, Redditch Road, Kings Norton, B38 8LR. Parking at front and rear. The walk can also be joined by public transport – train from Birmingham New Street to Longbridge then a 45 bus outside the station (bus every 15 minutes) to The Man on the Moon (5/10 minutes). Suggested train from New Street 9.23 am usually from platform 12B but please check.
