Verified Slow Way

Verified by 100.00% of reviewers

Safe, direct and pleasant route mainly using roads between settlements. Route leaves Sutton Coldfield via New Hall Valley Country Park along Plants Brook. It then follows pavements through Walmley and then there is a spot of verge walking down a lane before it crosses a bridge over the A38. Pavements take it through Minworth and beyond. A pack horse bridge crosses the River Tame into Water Orton. The pavements beyond Water Orton take it through an underpass under the M6 Toll and M42. Crossing the A446 requires timing the traffic lights as there is no "green man" but there is a pedestrian island midway. From there remains only more pavement walking until the end at Coleshill via Coleshill Parkway Railway Station and a charming bridge over the River Cole. Rest stops at Walmley (3.5 km), Minworth (6.5km) and Water Orton (9km). Bus routes throughout. Railway stations at Water Orton and Coleshill Parkway
