Birmingham Walking Tour

Birmingham's motto is 'Forward' and we will see how fitting this is as the city is constantly evolving. We begin our walk at the famous 'Bull Ring' around which, the medieval market town of Birmingham was founded. Taking a gentle stroll via busy shopping centers, quiet back roads, and historic canal paths we discover how a small, medieval market town grew into a giant of the Industrial Revolution when Birmingham became known as 'the city of a thousand trades. Along the way, we hear stories behind the people who have helped to make my home city a modern-day center of commerce and culture. From here we continue through bustling main streets and quiet back roads, through Victoria Square, and into the area known as 'Paradise' currently undergoing extensive regeneration. We make a brief visit to Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery where you can see the famous Pre Raphaelite collection and Saxon Hoard. At the Library of Birmingham, we visit the secret garden where we can enjoy far-reaching views across the city.
