Overview

Join us on a 12 mile circular walk, from Birmingham Cathedral, along canals & brooks, whilst peering past ‘Old Joe’ & advancing onwards to a Roman fortification too!  We’ll take lunch in Harborne, before reaching its disused railway line, circumnavigating Edgbaston Reservoir & marching back, to an optional, city taberna!!
