Here you can enjoy the serenity of lush green countryside, leefy country roads, gentle undulating terrain, and tranquil surroundings, which seems totally at odds with the multitude of nearby urban environments.

Good path for walking and cycling. Saw a Muntjac deer further down

This junction is where the Birmingham & Worcester canal joins the Stratford-upon-Avon Canal and also where you would turn off to follow the Rea Valley Route towards Longbridge and Waseley Hills. Here you will find the old toll house currently being refurbished (2022) and an old hump back bridge which is a great spot to admire the lovely view. Be careful here as the bridge is quite steep and can be slippy. Going up and over the bridge and going along the Stratford-upon-Avon Canal takes you towards Chinn Brook Nature reserve and Earlswood Lakes. Stay on the Birmingham & Worcester canal to get to Hawkesley.
