'The journey taken by the Rea as it meanders through Birmingham, reflects the history of the communities that sprang up throughout the centuries along its banks. Both the archaeological and ecological landscape of the river has been changed by all of these communities from the Bronze Age to the present day. From watermill remains to water voles, there is something for everyone to discover while walking by the river.'
