Steep hills, and lovely location especially the run through Mary Stevens Park

Can be muddy in places if it has rained a few days earlier.

Edgbaston Reservoir is a green oasis within the urban landscape of Birmingham, offering opportunities for outdoor recreation, relaxation, and wildlife appreciation. Whether you're interested in a leisurely stroll, birdwatching, or water-based activities, it provides a peaceful escape in the heart of the city.

Upper Bittell Reservoir covers approximately 40 acres and is the larger of the two Bittell Reservoirs. The reservoir was created in the late 19th century to provide drinking water to the city of Birmingham. It was constructed by damming the Bittell Brook. It is an excellent place for hiking and picnicking, with designated picnic areas where visitors can enjoy a meal while taking in the serene waterside atmosphere.

I'm lucky enough to live a short walk from the Lickeys. Another option, from the path leading out of the car park, is to take a left down to the Barnt Green road, cross the road and join the North Worcestershire Path around the two Bittel reservoirs. You could even then jump onto the Worcester Canal, walk along the towpath and through Barnt Green back to the Lickeys Country Park. Spoilt for choice!

Lots of variety, gentle hills, woodland, ponds, heathland, two cafes. Some history too including remains of ww2 sites. The walks are a few miles long. You can also combine with a walk around Barnt Green or to Waseley. Helpful rangers have maps and can advise on the best walks. A good visitor centre. I usually cycle there or start a walk at Barnt Green station. For those who want a park experience there is a good playground area close to the visitor centre.

Bartley Green Reservoir is a drinking water reservoir supply the Birmingham area. It's construction was completed in 1930.

Several entry points around the reservoir. Watch out for cyclists as in some parts the paths are quite narrow
