A walk from Harborne to Edgbaston Reservoir

This is an approximately 3.5 mile flat (some stairs) walk from Harborne to the Edgbaston Reservoir along minor roads and the Harborne Walkway. Starting outside Harborne Leisure Centre, the route first visits the Moor Pool Estate. Moor Pool Estate is a meticulously designed Garden suburb, which was the vision of John Sutton Nettlefold, consisting of around 500 houses designed in the Arts and Crafts style between 1907 and 1912. From there we join the Harborne Walkway, going north on the traffic free route towards town. At the end of the walk we’ll visit the Red Shed Cafe and take in part of Edgbaston reservoir.

The Red Shed Community café is part of the Birmingham Settlement Nature & Wellbeing Centre and with views over the beautiful field and the reservoir it makes an ideal end to our walk to enjoy a cup of cup of tea/coffee whilst supporting a local initiative.

From the café it’s a short walk to catch a bus back into town.

Please meet outside Harborne Leisure Centre ready to start at 1030. Please note that since the walk is organised under the auspices of the Ramblers, we are unable to accommodate dogs on the walk.

There are no toilets during the walk, but they are available at the Leisure Centre at the start of the walk and at the café at the end.
