Midlands resources
The midlands of England offer the walker gentle landscapes, with historic interest, tranquil river valleys, canal-side walking or the chance to get up onto the Malvern Hills, with far-reaching views across to the Black Mountains of Wales and surrounding areas of Worcestershire. Here you can take in walks with broad views, and yet be within an hour’s journey time from Birmingham or Coventry.
