The Leasowes

The Leasowes is a 57-hectare estate, located in Halesowen. It was developed between 1743-1763 by poet William Shenstone and is now listed as Grade I on the English Heritage Register. It comprises of diverse landscapes, woodland, open grassland, streams, waterfalls and lakes. Parking is available off Mucklow Hill and is free of charge. There is a map on arrival with easy laid out coloured routes to take. We chose the red loop which was roughly 3.5km in length, took you through a mixture of landscapes and had plenty to offer, including photo opportunities, benches, picnic spots and paddling opportunities. One thing to be aware of is that there is golf course located in the middle of the walk and a car park to walk through, so do be wary with youngsters. The walk is popular with dog walkers and there is plenty for your four-legged friends to enjoy, especially if they like water! The route follows a path but there are steep inclines and steep steps to navigate your way around, so pushchair and wheelchair users may prefer the green route. Next to the carpark there is also a small park for little ones to enjoy. This walk is sensational and a firm favourite of ours!
