These are the most charming villages in and around Birmingham, according to us

While we at Birmingham World love the hustle and bustle of a busy city, we realise that not everyone is as much of a fan.

Many people prefer to live somewhere a little bit more peaceful, where the sounds of sirens and traffic are replaced by those of chirping birds.

So we have come up with a list of picturesque villages within an hour’s drive of Birmingham.

These are ideal for families or for commuters seeking the quiet life without being a million miles away from all the action.
