Explore the Midlands' rich heritage at Kingswinford
A stay in the Dudley area of Kingswinford offers easy access to Britain's second city, Birmingham, plus the pick of Midlands' attractions. The Nearby Black Country Living Museum exploring the area's industrial heritage is well worth a visit. Spot where it was used as a setting for TV shows such as Peaky Blinders and Victorian Bakers, descend the underground mine, meet costumed characters and ride on the vintage fun fair. Next take a walk on the wild side at West Midlands Safari Park, home to animals including lemurs, hippos and penguins. Younger visitors will love the Cbeebies themed kids' playground newly opened in 2017.
Shop till you drop in Birmingham
Birmingham's been the subject of much regeneration and the result is fabulous shopping and some swanky nightlife. It's just over half an hour's drive away or catch the train from Nearby Stourbridge. The newly designed Birmingham New Street station is a new-age silver building that's shopping heaven, and within easy reach of the equally funkily built Selfridges in the Bullring Shopping Centre. Head to The Mailbox for great canalside eateries.
