Black Heritage Walks Networks

Black British Heritage Walks is a group that highlights the historical and modern-day achievements of the African-Caribbean community in and around Britain. The network has researched and created a series of black heritage trails across the West Midlands.

We aim to:

• To document migration stories and achievements of the black community in the UK, in particular, the post-war African Caribbean community.

• To inform and educate local communities about the contribution of the black community within the UK

• To encourage tourism within the highlighted places of interest Handsworth Black Heritage Trail Our first trail ‘Handsworth Black Heritage Trail’, launched on Sunday 24th June 2018 as part of the city-wide programme to commemorate the 70th Anniversary of SS Empire Windrush arrival of Caribbean’s to the UK. Our regular walks start have now started and Pre Booking is essential although we can accommodate walk-ups.  Although the routes are not strenuous, please be aware that surfaces may be uneven and could be slippery when wet. We strongly recommend that you dress appropriately for the weather with warm/waterproof clothing and comfortable footwear. For your safety Please take care when crossing busy roads and always use the designated crossings where indicated. Please be aware of other road users and pedestrians, particularly by leaving space on pavements for people to cross safely. Please remember to bring a bottle of water for hydration.

In light of the recent government guidelines, we hope to start running our socially distanced walks very soon and will be updating our booking page to reflect so. We are pleased to be offering both the Madiba and Iba B Wells walks as part of Birmingham Heritage Week and Birmingham's Black History Month 2020.
