Edgbaston Reservoir
This 2.8 mile route follows the old cart track from the visitor centre east into the valley. This old hedged lane is around 500 years old, together with hay meadows which, in summer, are full of buttercups. Crossing the green bridge you then follow the stream. This is a great route for spotting woodland birds such as woodpeckers and tree creepers.
