1 Dorridge & District Residents Association A Walk Along The Green Belt From Dorridge to Carine-de-Barnes The starting section of this walk through open fields would be destroyed by building of motorway services at junction 4, end section would be affected by threatened services at Carine-de-Barnes. This is NOT a circular walk. It is a walk of around 6 miles through a variety of countryside skirts Solihull town centre. There are a number of styles it is muddy in parts when wet. It crosses main roads in a couple of places, so children would need to be carefully supervised at those points. Starting from outskirts of Dorridge, it zig-zags across fields between motorway Dorridge, n crosses to River Bly runs along side this though to Brueton Park. From re it passes Solihull School, across by-pass n across fields to Gr Union Canal. Turning left takes you along to Boat Inn for refreshments await your return lift! This walk takes around 2½ to 3 hours. For hardy, it is possible to do a circular walk, instead turning right at canal to return to Knowle, cutting across through Knowle Park, Mill Lane Conker Lane to return to start in around 4½ hours. There are a number of places to start from: as a lmark, start from car park of Drum Monkey. If you need to park, just to south is Althorpe Drive odd car can be left re. If you are intent on a circular walk are going to use public transport to return, station is a good starting point. Note that buses do not run from Carine-de-Barnes on Sunday. To get to walk starting from station, left out of station, descend Station Approach, left n cross under railway bridge. Turn right up Manor Road. Go up, passing a mini-roundabout. At sharp left turn go ahead onto Conker Lane n a few yards along, turn left on a path through open space. Keep on this until you eventually emerge to side of Drum Monkey. 1: Go down drive to Four Ashes Golf Club From Drum Monkey car park, go left on or side of road you will see Four Ashes Golf Club.

At far point of car park, cross lawned area by hedge walk down side of club buildings. 4: Turn left over bridge. Follow edge of field, keeping to left. Eventually you will be guided right around bottom of field. Go between telegraph poles netting. A short way past fencing you have to turn left over a wooden bridge.

Cross style. 8: As you near edge, you should see a break in hedge. Continuing on roughly same line, you will see a low hedge on left, with a break, n a higher hedge on right.

The vocal dog can be ignored, bark is bad, but I remain un-bitten so I cannot prove proverb. 48: Passing through rickety gate, continue on. Continue farm. past 49: Cross next field The next style can be seen, just ahead to right, into field. 50: Leave field The path crosses next field, take style just to right, n go straight across field, keeping parallel to fence on left. 51: Continue onwards Leaving field, cross a quiet lane, continue on in same direction, keeping to hedge on left. 52: Pass by metal fencing.

Page 6 of 7 Go right over bridge immediately after bridge, on right, is access to tow path. Go to towpath turn right again.
7 55: Go under bridge 56: Walk along towpath. Assuming you are completing walk, go under bridge. 57: Cross road The tow path winds its way until it eventually comes to a wide ling area. After this, take path that splits off right from tow path up a gentle slope to bridge. 58: The Boat Inn. Cross road with extreme care re is very poor visibility this is something of a commuter rat run so traffic often passes at speed. Cross bridge to your left via footbridge. On or side of road, you will find Boat Inn, a large pub with food a beer garden. Take time to rest your legs whilst awaiting your rescuers. There is also a local store with drinks swiches if you prefer. Alternatively, you can get 192/194 bus back to Solihull (hourly service, not Sundays) n 40 bus or train back to Dorridge alighting at train station or Four Ashes Road (at roundabout passed in step 20, n walk along Four Ashes road back to Drum & Monkey).

Following footpath along right of fields, this emerges onto Kixley Lane you can n get to Knowle centre going right. Anor alternative route is again to return along Gr Union Canal head south to Knowle.
