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.
