By chance passing with my son and saw the majestic cone furnace appearing along the road. This led to our free entry visit and free parking, to this council run amenity, museum and glass shop. Although small it had a quietly appealing facet. Unfortunately due to the recent storms entry to the only completely surging glass cone in the UK was not permitted. Apparently immediate safety check and work needs to be carried out. However we did visit the other parts of the small site. Especially Carl working in the glass shop, he was working on some engraving of glassware which in itself was worth the visit. The titanic glassware was interesting, ordered but because of a railway issue back in the day never made it to the maiden voyage and so remained forever since here. We shall be returning to the area this year when I hope to visit the cone itself.

Kinver Edge Rock Houses

With sweeping views, a wildlife haven in the heath and unique homes carved straight into the rock...Kinver Edge is full of surprises. The famous Holy Austin Rock Houses are cosily restored to help you soak up the atmosphere of these unusual homes. Get comfortable by the fire and our volunteers will tell you tales of the people that lived right inside the rock. Just outside is the heathland of Kinver Edge - a pocket of wilderness, buzzing with insects and heady with the scent of gorse and purple heather. A stroll along the sandstone ridge offers dramatic views across surrounding counties from the ramparts of an imposing Iron Age Hill Fort. Beyond the views miles of walking country awaits, winding through birch and oak woodland and exposed areas of red sandstone geology.

We went for a lovely walk first before exploring the actual rock houses. As always, the National Trust staff that we came across were lovely and helpful and have so much knowledge of where they work. It was really interesting to hear about the bats and the local wildlife which includes adders.

Reviewed By earthintruder - Birmingham, United Kingdom

Most recent visit was for the 2017 British Glass Biennale. There was a fantastic buzz about the place, and some amazing exhibits on show. I particularly respect the generosity of the individual artisans, both in their display of their crafts, and in sharing those skills with others. A lovely place, which always fills me with a positive spirit.

With a long history, The Bonded Warehouse serves the community. It can be hired for Wedding Receptions, Birthday Parties, Corporate Training and Evening Activity Clubs. Built from 1799, the distinctive 3-storey round-ended building is set alongside the Stourbridge Town Arm Canal where boats moor permanently. Please Note: no wheelchair access to upper floors and the road is cobbled and uneven.

Me and my mum ordered a delivery from the Green Duck, we ordered 5 different cocktails to share between us. All securely packaged so no spillage in transit, and every one of them were divine! In the picture are the old fashioneds (one bottle split between two of us was plenty!), With the lovely cocktail umbrellas provided by the green duck. Overall ordering our drinks was easy to do, and value for money was excellent! If you are looking for high quality drinks delivered to your house this is the place, can't wait for you guys to reopen :)
