Birmingham Blog (Attractions) - Visit Birmingham

Work has begun on a new tree-top obstacle course at Coombe Abbey which is on track to open to the public next month.

From global gastronomy to subterranean worlds, The West Midlands throws up plenty of surprises. Walk in the footsteps of The Peaky Blinders; tuck into award-winning street food; and swim with sharks…if you dare.

More West Midlands venues than any other region in the country have been recognised in VisitEngland’s 2018 Attractions Accolades.

Show your loved one just what they mean to you with a romantic day out in Birmingham. 

I had arrived at Castle Bromwich Hall Gardens (CBHG) – I‘m only 5 miles from the city centre, (I can actually see parts of the city centre skyline from the garden’s highest point)  but it seems  more like a million miles away from the bustle of modern life; like being in a bubble of quietude.

Today we arrived at Cadbury World in Bournville, we knew we had reached our destination as the smell of chocolate permeated the air. Ahhhhh.
