Siteseeing in and around Birmingham

[Guest guest]

Hello Margaret,

I had my re-surfacing operation at the Priory Hospital so I know you will have the best of care.

There are lots of places to visit in and around Birmingham - I'm presuming that your daughter will have a car. Here are a few suggestions:

In Birmingham:

The Botanical Gardens are close by the Priory

Jewellery Quarter and Museum

Cadbury World (Chocolate making)

Gas Street Basin -Canal boat trips

Warwick Castle

Kenilworth Castle

Coventry Cathedral

Stratford upon Avon - Shakespeare's birthplace (www.shakespeare.org.uk) - on Sundays there is a special Steam train trip from Birmingham

Black Country Living Museum, Dudley

Ironbridge Gorge Museums

Hagley Hall, Hagley

Severn Valley Railway - Kidderminster-Bewdley-Bridgenorth www.svr.co.uk

You'll be wanting to leap out of that hospital bed to join her!!!!!

A good place to look for accomodation is http://www.smoothhound.co.uk/birmingh.htmlIt links up to Multimap to pinpointthe locations on a map.
