At 2,224 acres, it is one of the largest urban parks in the country. A site of Special Scientific interest, it provides habitat for a variety of birds and wildlife. A former borough town, Sutton Coldfield is the largest place to shop and relax within Birmingham outside of the city centre. There are three distinct shopping environments provided by the Red Rose Centre,The Mall and New Hall Walk, which brings ‘out of town’ shops into the heart of Sutton Coldfield. With a broad range of High Street names located on The Parade there is something for everyone. There are ample swimming and dry sports facilities at Wyndley Leisure Centre, a short walk from the town centre, as well as a feast of cultural, hobby or interest groups on offer throughout the area. You could try your hand at sailing at Powells’ Pool or enjoy a round of golf – the Sutton Coldfield circuit is truly excellent! With four private golf courses set within the constituency boundary and two additional municipal golf courses, there is something here for the keen golfer, no matter what your handicap. The schooling in the area is fantastic with grammar and private schools all within easy reach. The town centre is located on the A5127, approximately 7 miles north of Birmingham city centre. It can also be approached from the A38 exit Minworth or Bassetts Pole as well as junction 9 of the M42. Various local train stations provides an effortless commute to both Birmingham and Lichfield.
BIRMINGHAM Lying at the seat of England’s industrial and commercial heartland, the “Second City” is the very model of a beaming cosmopolitan global city that sets the standard for others to mirror.
