The Heart of England is so easy to get to being at the centre of England's road network and with international airports at Birmingham and Coventry. Birmingham has recently undergone substantial regeneration and offers a world-class cultural scene as well as superb shopping.

Take some time to visit the Cotswolds - beautiful countryside dotted with honey-coloured villages with limestone cottages - or historic Stratford-upon-Avon. The typical English landscape of the Malvern hills is delightful. Discover film locations for Harry Potter and places that inspired the likes of Tolkien, George Eliot and William Shakespeare. We can show you cathedrals, ancient and modern, Jewellery Quarter and Cadbury's Bournville.
