P LEASE NOTE THAT THE DURATION OF THIS EVENT SHOWN ABOVE IS ONLY APPROXIMATE AND CANNOT BE GUARANTEED; IT WILL DEPEND ON FACTORS SUCH AS THE WEATHER AND THE WALKING PACE OF THE GROUP. Our Wednesday walks include a lunchtime pub stop. Requirements for meals from the pub menu are usually requested and ordered before the start of the walk by the leader. Walkers who prefer to take a picnic lunch are welcome to do so and the leader will have a place designated for this somewhere near the pub, in the village, or in the area where we are stopping for lunch. It is very helpful for the walk leader to have prior knowledge of numbers that will be on this walk. We ask you to complete this very brief form to help with our planning of the walk to ensure that we can safely accommodate all who wish to join us. You will receive an automatic acknowledgement when you submit this form, and also a reminder of the details 2 days before the walk. Walk leader: Brenda Cameron Distance of walk : 6.75 miles – morning 4.5 miles (including short break), afternoon 2.25 miles. Pleasant easy walking throughout. Meeting arrangements: Meet by 10.30 a.m. at The Old House at Home, Birmingham Road, Blakedown DY10 3JE. If travelling by train: The 9.27 am train from Birmingham Moor Street platform 2, or 9.31 am from Snow Hill platform 1 - estimated arrival time at Blakedown 10.04 am. The Old House at Home is about 6/7 minutes walk from the station. On exiting the station turn left along the short slip road, right into main Birmingham Road and the pub is a few minutes’ walk on the left. Morning walk From the pub we head towards the picturesque Blakedown pools - formed when numerous small streams flowing down from the Clent Hills were dammed to form millponds for the small ironworks and corn grinding industries in the area. From here our route follows part of the Monarch’s Way passing alongside Harborough Hill. Another large pool brings us to Churchill Forge a waterwheel powered hand tool forge, one of the last remaining in the UK. The site dates from before 1800, with the workshop machinery dating from the early 1900s. We pass through the quiet village of Churchill, briefly follow field paths and a bridle track to Churchill Lane leading us back to Blakedown and the pub for lunch. Please note the pub doesn’t open till 12 but we will take a comfort break during the morning walk. Note: lunch at the pub is optional. For those who wish to do the morning walk only, the estimated finish time is 1-1.30pm. Or you may prefer to bring your own lunch to eat nearby and then if you wish join the group for a drink. Afternoon walk: After lunch our short route follows pleasant part wooded bridle tracks and quiet lanes. On this route we pass a truly magnificent Art Deco house which I would describe as Hollywood Hills comes to Worcestershire! It’s wonderful and jaw-dropping - and not to be missed! Expressions of Interest for this walk will close at 06.00 on Wednesday 4 June . After this, pleaseemail bhamramblersenquiries@gmail.comto 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 bhamramblersenquiries@gmail.com - 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.

We made a dedicated trip and had a lovely few hours. There was lots to see with split levels that kept your interest. The penguins were nice, the octopus made an appearance and we would have loved to see more of the otters., we see the otters.. There is plenty to see, read and touch. My grand daughter loved it all, the turtle in the tunnel is beautiful . It was clean, and we had a great time, would definitely go back, staff were helpful,its really nice and deserve to be visited again and again.

For a smaller town the Art Museum as great. We really enjoyed our visit and would recommend it if you are traveling to Birmingham. Make sure to call ahead to see if they are open.

Chinese Quarter

There are Chinese Super League, restaurants, and many other specialty restaurants to choose from. It is not difficult to find what you want to eat here. But this time I chose this restaurant, the food was a bit disappointing.

Victoria Square, Birmingham

放飞自我去游玩

After we dropped off our luggage at the hotel, we had a big meal at a Michelin one-star restaurant, and then we began to get to know the city. First we came to Victoria Square, where a building imitating a Greek temple caught our eye. It turned out to be their town hall. Next to it was a beautiful Baroque building, the Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery, which was also free to visit. So we went in for a stroll. There were not many people, and the exhibits were quite rich, ranging from ancient Egypt to current art.
