Top 10 Outdoor Activities in Birmingham, England
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.

As a Christmas present, my brother and I were given a voucher for the Pro-drift academy 3hr taster session. What great fun! The staff were very friendly, knowledgeable and professional. Driving time in the cars was just about right for the session and facilities good. Would recommend to anyone interested in a taster for motorsport or group activities.
