Local Attractions

in and around Birmingham

Birmingham is an extraordinary base to explore from, as direct local transport links can take visitors not only throughout the city, but also further afield.

Guests can, for example. visit Europe's largest library in the city's busiest building. It lends over 8 million books each year, with computer access and a cafe serving an array of delicious treats. 

The city also calls all chocolate lovers to discover a world of chocolate delights at Cadbury World, a place for the whole family to enjoy. Visitors can add their favourite treat to a scrumptious pot of Cadbury Dairy Milk, and even have the opportunity to create their very own chocolate concoction.

Those who fancy themselves TV news presenters can visit BBC Birmingham at The Mailbox, where they can read and record their very own news item or weather forecast with their friends and family.

Those willing to travel a little further afield can also visit the wonderful world class family attraction of Black Country open-air museum. Brought to life by costumed characters, it consists of an array of original shops, houses, workshops, school and traditional fairground.
