Bull Ring (unofficial)
An unofficial walk of almost 200km around Birmingham and the Black Country. Running clockwise from Meriden, the route passes through Tanworth-in-Arden, Hagley, Codsall, and Kingsbury to regain Meriden
There are public transport connections available throughout, with the exception of the section boundary at Shustoke, where a walk-out/in (probably to Furnace End), or a taxi connection, may be necessary. Birmingham is the key base station, but the walk is accessible from anywhere in the West Midlands conurbation. Other centres may prove useful for parts of the route.
