Birmingham, Cotswolds & the Midlands
At the heart of England, the Birmingham, Cotswolds and Midlands region welcomes you onto an enchanting mix of urban vibrancy and countryside serenity. Defined by a sleek modern skyline, Birmingham presents itself as a vibrant hub of innovation and culture. The Bullring and the shimmering Library of Birmingham are two iconic constructions that offer a striking visual contrast with the historic Jewellery Quarter and the meandering canal. Just a short drive away, Coventry rises tall as a city reborn from the ashes of the war, where the ruins of its medieval cathedral offer a moment for reflection on the past. Travelling south, you reach the Costwolds region and its rolling hills dotted by quaint stone villages like Burford. At each of these small towns, time seems to stand still, with each lane transporting you to imaginary fairytale-like settings. In nearby Oxford, the dreaming spires of its world-renowned university exude an atmosphere of intellectual grandeur difficult to overlook. With a strong cultural identity and historical heritage, this city and its museums, including the Pitt Rivers Museum, envelop you in a veil of historical wonders that leave an imprint. A journey to this part of England is not complete without a visit to Nottinghamshire, the home of the timeless Robin Hood – a legend with its inception in medieval times. For food lovers, this region offers an array of different gastronomic experiences that range from Birmingham’s Michelin-star restaurants to Cotswold’s lovely tearooms.
