Things to do in Birmingham, England: The Best Nature & Parks

November 25, 2021 Major Galusha

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.

Moseley Park and Pool

Moseley is a fantastic part of Birmingham with its farmers and arts markets, but what makes it particularly special and unique is having at its centre, the Park and Pool. This historic park, with some 300 years of history, is run by a charitable trust. The Park was originally a major part of the gardens of the Moseley Hall estate which were designed by the famous landscape gardener Humphry Repton.

We came to Moseley Park and Pool as part of Birmingham Heritage Week 2020. Not normally open to the public, it is a lovely place with huge grassy areas, trees and a large pond with abundant wildlife - many different bird species, and large fish could be clearly seen in the pool.

Kings Heath Park

The location of the BBC's Gardeners World, this delightful park serves as a family gathering place for picnics and recreation.

Reviewed By IanVezy - Birmingham, United Kingdom

The park is a real gem in the area. A lovely walk through the space. Lots of great flowers all year round and a good bit of exercise with the hill at the back. The small lake in front of the house is great too most of the year round, especially when the green growth is cleared !

Highbury Park

Reviewed By GreggSheffield - Birmingham, United Kingdom

I absolutely love this park. A lot of it resembles a country estate, with mature trees in fields, lots of nooks and crannies to explore which make this park so interesting to explore. There is an arboretum area to the north west side with a lovely path along the edge. I can feel like I’m out of Birmingham in some parts of the park. We also recently discovered the path to the river Rea down Holders Lane, so you can walk through Highbury, to the river and down the length of that to Cannon Hill Park
