Route description
Route goes through Cornbow Shopping Centre in Halesowen then takes Great Cornbow before crossing at pedestrian crossing. Passes McDonalds drive-through and uses more pedestrian crossings before going through residential street and alleyway to Dudley Canal Number 2 (dry at southern end but then full of reeds further north). Follows towpath through Leasowes Park and then leaves canal and the park, to follow Mucklow Hill up as far as crossing at traffic lights. Having crossed, the footpath drops down to pick up the canal again. The route leaves the canal and climbs the hill to Coombs Wood Reserve. The last section is a combination of streets, main and residential in Rowley Regis, through to the meeting place outside the railway station (trains to Birmingham and Worcester).
