This beautiful village near Solihull is top of the list again. Muddy Stilettos wrote about the quaint countryside village: "You can’t go far wrong with Hampton, packed full of rural character despite being a hop, skip and a jump to the city via train, making it a popular option for commuters who crave a little pastoral idyll. The 12th century church, imposing Hampton Manor (once home to Sir Robert Peel, now a primo foodie destination) and medieval packhorse bridge all give Hampton a historical air."placeholder image
