Olympic Torch route

Already blazing as it arrives from Greece on May 19, the Olympic torch will travel the length and breadth of the UK taking in the sights -ancient and modern.

The 70-day journey starts at Land's End, where the first of the torchbearers will carry it from the most westerly point in England and will finally arrive, on July 27, at the Olympic Stadium for the opening ceremony.

The torch will encounter landmarks old and new, including the Black Country Living Museum. Loads of communities in the West Midlands will have the torch passing through it including, Kidderminster, Dudley, Solihull and Birmingham.
