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

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.

The Blythe Valley Countryside Park is 87 acres in size. The circular path includes several small lakes and a bird hide. The site is like a cross between New Hall Valley Country park in Sutton Coldfield and Plantsbrook in Pype Hayes and is home to a mixture of conservation woodland, 38,000m² of new woodland, grassland, hedgerows, streams and wetland. The 3.5km path is be great for cycling and running, too. Work on the business park commenced in August 1998 and was a joint development between Solihull MBC, Doughty Hanson & Co Real Estate and Liberty Property Trust. The River Blythe has been designated a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) and there are local damp willow woodlands, emergent reeds and wet grassland. In a rare UK approach, storm water from the built up area is cleaned by several processes en route to the river.
