About Babbs Mill parkrun<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This week we headed to Babbs Mill parkrun in Kingshurst. Just 4 miles from Birmingham Airport and the NEC<\/a> (National Exhibition Centre)\/Resorts World Arena. It is held at the Babbs Mill Local Nature Reserve, Fordbridge Road, Kingshurst, B37 6LN.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Technically it is in North Solihull but used to be Birmingham and that\u2019s where most locals will tell you that it is. Or there used to at least!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tragedies<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

It is also where tragically four young boys lost their lives on the lake last Christmas. There is a memorial for them but this is not why we went, and we did not see it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
