Trails connecting Birmingham and Sandwell - enjoy!

This project contains fascinating trails that connect Birmingham with Sandwell and Sandwell with Birmingham.  Go and explore by foot or by bike.  Enjoy!


Between Birmingham and Sandwell, there are many interesting things to go and experience and explore.  Enjoy with our compliments many of the trails we continue to create and update with the help of our community of people who are passionate about the places they love and want to share with others.

We recommend walking in sections, no need to do all in one day, or cycle.

You can also catch the bus to certain sections, such as the 11A, 11C, 82 or 87, and get onto the Soho Loop.

You might want to get the train to Smethwick Galton Bridge Station (High Level from Birmingham Snow Hill, or Low Level from Birmingham New Street). You could also get off the train at Smethwick Rolfe Street before walking to the canal towpath. Or catch the no 87 bus from Birmingham.
