Grade II* Tudor house built c.1590. Wonderful gardens, shop, Herb Garden Cafe and family friendly events. Part of Birmingham Museums Trust. Site currently closed to the public due to COVID-19.
Reviewed By veldac2013 - Bloxwich, United Kingdom
Excellent tour of the house - today’s theme and talk was about ‘Women in Tudor Times’ as it is International Women’s Day this month. Friendly and incredibly knowledgeable volunteers and staff. House is run by the council but they have teamed up with the National Trust enabling half price entry - well worth £7 for two adults. Had the cream tea in the Herb Cafe. Very well presented with really friendly staff. Would thoroughly recommend. A hidden little gem of a property.
6. Winterbourne House and Garden
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 1,078 reviews
The Garden, tea room and shop are open daily 10.30pm to 5pm (last entry 4.30pm). The House remains closed until further notice. Restored to its Edwardian Arts and Craft splendour, Winterbourne House is a unique heritage attraction – set within seven acres of beautiful botanic gardens. Only minutes from Birmingham city centre, Winterbourne is a hidden gem – home to beautiful antiques and over 6,000 plant species from around the world. Wander along the woodland walk, stroll through the hazelnut tunnel, cross the 1930’s Japanese Bridge or simply soak up the tranquillity of this perfectly English Edwardian home.

Went here around four months ago with my friends. It's so beautiful and peaceful here. No noise from the city, it's in an almost countryfied area. Really lustrous, colourful gardens, with various little areas that are a little bit different and unique to each other. They have an orchard, a gorgeous Japanese bridge over a small pond, glass houses full of succulents and cacti, some really exquisite sites there, and all in its just a relaxing, pleasent walk through that you can take your time strolling around in, for as long as you want. House we couldn't see, but had some afternoon tea there and sat outside, good prices for tea and cake, really delicious as well. Not sure if the cakes are made there or bought in, or if they have the same cakes through the year or change the options around, but they have a good selection to pick from. Definitely will try and go back there when they're able to open the house to the public.

Almost on top of a very busy road junction is to be found a community garden. A real hidden gem, and a part of the countryside just 2 miles from the centre of Birmingham. A fairly inconspicuous entrance leads into a small car park. There are vegetable plots, fruit trees, a children’s play area, paths & areas full of a variety of plants to be explored. In the middle of the woodland area, there was an array of bird song to be heard, it really did feel as if you were in the countryside. An area was in process of being constructed, being supported by Jo Malone of London- a courtyard area. Although no formal refreshments available there did appear to be a kitchen area in the process of being completed in one of the newer buildings . A notice did advise you to ask a member of staff for a cuppa! Toilet facilities were available. Although no entrance charge, I got the impression they rely on donations & presumably support from visiting schools as there are educational facilities set up. Income is also generated from the sale of plants & garden produce. It was just beautiful to sit on one of the many benches & take time out & relax. Well worth a visit!
