Walk leader: Kate Chester
Meeting arrangements:
Meet outside the ticket office at Selly Oak Station at 10.30am.
The 10.15 am train leaves New Street and arrives at Selly Oak 10.25 am. If coming from New Street, the ticket office is on the opposite platform, so you will need to cross over the bridge to platform 1. The train from New Street to usually goes from Platform 12B. Selly Oak station is just off the Bristol Road, so If trains aren’t running, catch a 61 or 63 bus.
If driving, you may be able to park in the free station car park or at Selly Oak Shopping Park.
Walk Description:
This is a 5 miles circular walk from Selly Oak Railway station . The walk goes through a shopping park, following an old canal, then across Selly Oak Park to join the Bourn Brook which we follow until Northfield Road. Then follows the edge of Harborne Golf course up to St Peter’s Church, Harborne. From here we go across Groves Park, rejoin the Bourn Brook, then through various hospital buildings to University Station (where the walk may be ended), onto the canal to get back to Selly Oak.
Expressions of Interest for this walk will close at 06.00 on Tuesday 6 January 2026. After this, please email [email protected] to enquire about any late availability for the walk.

If you later find that you are unable to join us it would be helpful if you let us know by sending an email to [email protected] - this will be passed on to the walk leader and will prevent any delay to the start of the walk should the leader be waiting for you. Please note that some walks have a waiting list so tickets are NOT TRANSFERABLE; if you are unable to join us then please cancel your place to free it up for someone who may be on the waiting list rather than passing it to someone else.
