There are many brilliant places to visit in England with fun things to do. While people will immediately think of major cities like London, Liverpool and York, you will find that there are also many small towns and cities that have a lot to offer and are much quieter than the more popular areas. The West Midlands, in partic-ular, has many highlights that make it a good place for a trip with the kids or even somewhere to live.
So, what are a few of the highlights that the West Midlands has to offer?
Blists Hill in Telford
Telford in Shropshire is a historic part of the UK with plenty to see and do with kids, including Blists Hill that allows you and the kids to step back in time and im-merse yourself in a Victorian town where you can participate in activities and see how people used to live. Places like this make Telford and the rest of the West Midlands a great place to find a new home if you are looking for somewhere fun for the kids.
Black Country Museum in Dudley
Another way to see history brought to life is with the Black Country Museum in Dudley. This immersive museum allows you and the family to experience life in one of the first industrialised landscapes in the UK in 26 acres of reconstructed spaces with pubs, shops and houses.
Football Match in Wolverhampton
If your family are football fans then Wolverhampton is a great place to be. Wol-verhampton Wanderers (known as Wolves) were one of the founding members of
the Football League in 1888 and have found great success over the years. Cur-rently, Wolves are competing in the Premier League and this means that it is a fantastic way to see the biggest and best teams and players in the country.
Shopping & Dining in Birmingham
Obviously, Birmingham is one of the best places to live or visit in the West Mid-lands. As the UK’s second-largest city, there is plenty to see and do with a fantas-tic shopping and dining scene and it is somewhere that anyone that appreciates both culture and history will enjoy spending time.
