Walks History

Balsall Common 26th July 2026

5 of us met in Balsall Common to embark on a walk which turned out to be slightly longer than predicted at 13 miles due to HS2 works.
A significant part of this walk followed the Heart of England Way.
We passed through the beautiful church at Berkswell and our first coffee stop was in the lovely village just past the church.
We carried on to Meriden and stopped in the grounds of the Church for lunch which offered fabulous views.

Kingsbury 31st May 2026

6 of us began an 8.9 mile circular walk from the Dog & Doublet towards Middleton where we stopped in a very nice location for a coffee break.
From there we headed to Drayton Bassett where we again stopped for lunch and thereafter joined the Heart of England Way following the canal to Broomey Croft and then through Kingsbury Water Park and back to the Dog & Doublet.
Perfect weather for a very enjoyable walk.
