Between Birmingham and Sandwell, there are many interesting things to go and experience and explore.  Enjoy with our compliments many of the trails we continue to create and update with the help of our community of people who are passionate about the places they love and want to share with others. 

Click here for the Birmingham to Smethwick trail.

We recommend walking in sections, no need to do all in one day, or cycle.

You can also catch the bus to certain sections, such as the 11A, 11C, 82 or 87, and get onto the Soho Loop.

For the Soho Loop, get onto the BCN Mainline (any direction), then walk to Rotton Park Junction, and head under the bridges past the Soho Wharf development.

If you ended the last walk at Norman Street Park, come back at a later date, and continue the walk to Winson Green Junction.

You might want to get the train to Smethwick Galton Bridge Station (High Level from Birmingham Snow Hill, or Low Level from Birmingham New Street). You could also get off the train at Smethwick Rolfe Street before walking to the canal towpath. Or catch the no 87 bus from Birmingham.
