A choice of two long-ish walks along the waterways radiating from Bournville. Learn the significance of the once major highways in the development of Bournville and Birmingham

Route #1 follows the Worcester & Birmingham canal

Route #2 follows the River Rea to ancient Digbeth

This tour takes approximately 4/6 hours including a leisurely lunch break amid the bargee community in Birmingham's famous Gas St Basin.

A short train ride back to Bournville Station completes the trip.

This tour is also ideally suited to the cycling option, where it is conducted over both stages with the same lunch break at Gas St Basin.

Alternatively stay for a long weekend. Take time to visit local attractions including the world famous Bournville Carillon, Selly Manor museum, Cadbury World, Wyevale Garden Centre, and see much much more.
