Things to do in the West Midlands outdoors


Visiting the West Midlands offers a blend of historical charm and modern allure. Begin your journey with a stroll through Birmingham's vibrant Bullring, a shopping haven with architectural marvels like the Library of Birmingham. Delve into the region's industrial past at the Black Country Living Museum, where time stands still amid vintage shops and working factories.

Nature enthusiasts can escape to the picturesque Cannock Chase for serene walks and wildlife spotting. Explore Coventry's rich heritage, from the medieval splendor of Coventry Cathedral to the innovative exhibitions at the Herbert Art Gallery and Museum. The West Midlands promises an unforgettable experience at every turn.
