The geographical heart of England, Birmingham started life as a sixth- century Anglo-Saxon village. Today, much of this city of over a million dates back to post-WWII redevelopment in the 1950s and 60s. Cutting edge museums and galleries, innovative theaters and excellent shopping have contributed to Birmingham's appeal as a weekend break destination. Don't miss the hopping bars and cafes of Gas Street Basin or the fascinating creatures at the National Sea Life Centre.

A calm and quiet oasis located close to the International Convention Centre, which offers small and well-tended gardens of exotic-looking plants along with plenty of benches to just sit and relax.

Dive and be wowed by the many strange, beautiful and fascinating creatures of the deep as you journey through the amazing underwater world of The National SEA LIFE Centre Brimingham. Prepare for astonishing close views of everything from humble starfish to tropical sharks. To get any closer you'll have to get wet!
We have visited all the other SeaLife centres and this one is by far the best, our little girl is so fascinated by all the creatures!

Created in 1995 to commemorate the fiftieth anniversary of the end of World War II, this park was the site of the G8 summit in 1998, where world leaders planted trees that represented their respective countries.

Adore this place. It needs to be treasured. We are lucky to have such an oasis of nature and historic significance in the heart of the city. It is a clean, safe and beautiful retreat which we make use of regularly in our week to cycle, run and walk around. Thank you to the park rangers for all their hard work. We enjoy so much wildlife and nature including various species of bat, water foul and birds. When the swifts arrive the reservoir is breathtaking. Having the new path and the restricted access to the car park has made a dramatic and positive difference to the visitors experience. I love this location and hope it can be maintained in the way it is being currently.
