Join Wild in the City for a relaxed walk through Sandwell Valley Country Park. This circular walk begins and ends at RSPB Sandwell Valley, taking us through the nature reserve and woodlands via several pools and lakes and visiting the remains of the historic Benedictine priory. We’ll explore the heathland that the Sandwell area gets its name from and have plenty of opportunities to take in the early signs of spring and spot an array of waterfowl.

This walk will be mostly flat, following mainly paved routes and well-maintained paths. Some of the paths may be muddy after wet weather.

Please dress appropriately for the weather and wear sturdy footwear – we encourage you to bring waterproofs to keep you warm and dry. We recommend bringing a minimum of 1ltr of water and a packed lunch with you.

This walk is accessible by bus from Birmingham City Centre (route 16/16A). There is a small car park close to the start of the walk. RSPB car park charges £3 per day

Cost: £5
