Harborne Walkway - walk, jog or cycle - enjoy!

Could we suggest that you join the walkway at the Harborne end (south), the start of the walk located in Forest Drive, B17 9HW.

An alternative start point is on Park Hill Road near the bridge, up a steep unmade track to the north end of the bridge.

The entrance from the far corner of Forest Drive takes you up a path to the south side of the bridge where you can walk across and see wonderful views before starting on the walkway itself.
