Invitation to walk or cycle a magnificent, nature-rich cycle-walkway!
Please join our Nature walk/cycle for health and future on:
Saturday 2 August at 10 am.
Meet at the Woodland Trust, Himley Plantation car park. Enter from Himley Lane, immediately after going under the old railway bridge if approaching from the main road, B 4176 towards Swindon. See blue 'P' on the screen shot map, below.
PART OF THE 20 Kms BLACK COUNTRY ACTIVE TRAVEL ROUTE on two former railway lines:
It runs from Fens Pool Avenue, Brierley Hill to the canal towpath in NW Wolverhampton. The route is good, going north from Dudley's boundary with South Staffordshire, near Himley Hall. From there, it is a smooth, free draining surface, of even tarmac in places.
2 miles (3 Kms) walk for coffee at The Platform in the old Wombourne railway station. Then 2 miles back or 3 miles back via canal towpath coming off at Swindon to walk along Himley Lane to the car park.
Or, cycle to Wolverhampton on the same railway path, under the guidance of Chris Barnett for the next coffee stop in the former, revamped railway station, now a cafe, at Tettenhall. Then cycle back.
