ATTRACTIONS

Birmingham is the UK’s second largest city after London and, as a result, you’ll find a never-ending list of things to see, do and explore. You’ll discover many museums and galleries in this lively city, including the Thinktank Birmingham Science Museum, the Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery and the Soho House Museum. Alternatively, you can spend a day at the world’s most famous chocolate attraction: Cadbury World. Here, you can learn about the history of chocolate and discover how the factory produces 100,000 tonnes of liquid chocolate each year!

You’ll also find plenty to see and discover outside of Birmingham. For example, if you’re a history lover, then visit Worcester’s gorgeous cathedral, or embark on a waterside walk down the River Severn where you can learn about the local history.

SIGHTS

The West Midlands has a diverse history for you to discover. You can explore the thousand-year-old Lincoln Cathedral, visit the Tudor mansion of Chatsworth House, or even spend a day at Lincoln Castle.
