"From exploring one of the UK's best small art galleries to taking a boat along its myriad waterways to visiting a nearby beach, the day is wide open with possibilities, while Birmingham's exceptional gastro scene comes alive when night falls. Whether it's sampling Michelin star restaurants in the city centre or bar hopping out in lively neighbourhoods like Moseley or Stirchley, activities in Birmingham are always first-class."
"Built in 1903, Winterbourne House is a rare surviving example of an early 20th-century suburban villa and garden. And while the house itself is a quaint window into the life of the wealthy Nettlefold family, it's the majestic gardens that are the standout feature here. From the shaded Nut Walk to the curious glasshouses, the gardens are a wonderfully serene spot to spend a balmy afternoon."
"Heavy metal pioneers Black Sabbath are Birmingham's most iconic band and there are several places to pay your respects. The Black Sabbath Bridge on Broad Street - featuring the faces of all four original members - has become something of a shrine, while the colourful 40-metre Black Sabbath mural on Navigation Street isn't far from The Crown pub, where the band (in their earlier incarnation as Earth) played their first gig together."
Birmingham has undergone major change with new tramlines and revitalised canal sides, creating many attractions. Visitors can explore acclaimed small art galleries, take boat trips along numerous waterways, or travel to a nearby beach. The city's gastro scene is vibrant after dark, offering Michelin-starred restaurants and lively neighbourhood bar hopping in areas such as Moseley and Stirchley. Winterbourne House and its early 20th-century gardens provide tranquil green space, with features like the Nut Walk and glasshouses. Black Sabbath's musical legacy is visible across the city, from the Black Sabbath Bridge and a large mural to venues linked to the band's early gigs.
