A fascinating site that gives you a real chance to get to grips with the steam technology that drove the Industrial Revolution. Four large beam engines, nearly 30 other steam engines, large steam driven workshop where you can “have a go”. Only 1/4 mile from A38 Burton North junction. Brown signs from junction but not on A38. DE13 0DA.

Victorian engineering on an awesome scale. Absolutely fascinating, and made all the better by the great passion and depth of knowledge of the volunteers responsible for the terific restoration of the three beam engines that were in steam. Also thrilled to discover that work on the fourth engine is now under way. Will definitely be visiting again to see how that progresses. Worth mentioning that there are a large number of smaller steam engines in full working order that serve a variety of ancillary functions associated with the main beam engines. Could have stayed all day!

Such a wonderful building, steeped with history in the Mother Town of the Potteries. Although the building is only open on event days there is no shortage of architecture for you to see so please bring your camera!

An Ancient Cathedral Full of Life & Wonder There has been a Cathedral in Lichfield for over 1300 years and its story is one bursting with history, art, culture and life. If you're looking for rich heritage, ancient artefacts, and stunning architecture then Lichfield Cathedral has it all. Lichfield Cathedral's story doesn't end with its past, it is very much alive with a vibrant programme of services, events and art projects to capture the imagination of all ages.

About thirty minutes drive from Birmingham there is a large car park nearby. Visiting the Cathedral is free. The guide book is £5 and they offer free tours which I highly recommend. This is one of the best cathedrals I have ever visited with a long history going back to Saxon times. Every corner reveals something new and the history was so interesting especially the civil war siege. Highlights include the Saxon bible and statue of an angel, the Zulu shields and the medieval wall paintings. The tour lasted about 90 minutes and was so interesting. Highly recommended.

Lovely croquet and skipping games outside which my 7 yr old appreciated -tea room great too !

I went for a university visit and it was beautiful, calm and serene. Everyone was very friendly and welcoming and the grounds were gorgeous.
