Things to see and do in Solihull

Things are very different if you head south east, where you’ll find open countryside and lovely spots like Knowle Park, Dorridge Wood and Lavender Hall Park. 

Back in town you can make the most of Malvern Park, Brueton Park and Tudor Grange Park, while Hillfield Park and its picturesque lake are just south of the centre. Explore National Trust properties like Baddesley Clinton and Packwood House, and don’t miss Clowes Wood Nature Reserve, the Earlswood Lakes and Sheldon Country Park. You’ll also have the National Exhibition Centre and National Motorcycle Museum just five miles away.

In fact, Sharmans Cross Junior School has been ranked as one of the best anywhere in the West Midlands. Oak Cottage Primary School meanwhile, which is close to the southern tip of Olton Reservoir, has been rated as outstanding by Ofsted. 

If you’re looking for secondary schools, Tudor Grange Academy Solihull is next door to the Blossomfield Campus of Solihull College and has also been graded as outstanding by the education board. The same goes for mixed secondary Arden School, which is to the south east of town in terms of catchment and has a sixth form attached. 

Solihull transport links

Solihull is only around eight miles from the centre of Birmingham as the crow flies, although you can use the M42 and M6 motorways to quickly loop round to the city in just 20 minutes. You’ll pass the nearby Birmingham Airport doing so, which offers an array of international routes. Solihull is also well served by buses and rail connections to its central train station off Blossomfield Road.

Property prices in Solihull are driven by the excellent local schools, while HS2 links are also expected to see continued growth in the housing market. In fact, Solihull’s property market has overtaken Birmingham in recent years as the town’s popularity keeps on rising.
