Aston Park

It’s get Sandwiched between Villa Park and the Aston Expressway, if Aston Park was built a few miles out of the city it would surely receive far better acclaim than it seems to get now. The landscape is wonderfully mature and the gardens have been registered on the Historic Parks Register. Aston Hall is one of the best examples of Jacobean architecture in the land – the Grade I listed building was built between 1618 and 1635 for Sir Thomas Holte and was home to James Watt Junior from 1817-1848.

You’d never guess this urban hinterland was so close to the heart of Birmingham’s former metal-bashing factories which gave rise to rock pioneers Black Sabbath. The site includes a cafe with small shop and loos and the park has a 2km walking route, with parking close to Aston Hall.

Billesley Common

This common alone is roughly the same size as Cannon Hill at the heart of a district that should be considered prime real estate in Birmingham, since other significant green spaces nearby include Moseley and Cocks Moors Woods golf courses, Swanshurst Park, Trittiford Mill Park, and the Chinn Brook and Dingles recreation grounds.

The Yardley Wood Road side of Billesley Common has the most available parking spaces compared with entrances on Haunch Lane and at Chessetts Grove, off Hollybank Road.

Once inside this area, it’s as exhilarating as anywhere in the city - and a wonderful amenity for the 26,000 people living in the ward acording to the 2001 Census, So book BirminghamTaxi to reach these awesome parks.

Cannon Hill Park

In many ways, this is Birmingham’s premier park  attractions from the MAC arts centre to wide open spaces, two lakes, tennis courts, golf putting course, playgrounds and the new permanent playground help to bring lots of visitors in, and there’s a model homage to the Elan Valley in Wales which has been supplying Birmingham with water for more than 100 years.

If colour is your thing, then the vitality of the flower beds definitely makes this the city’s No 1 park.

It’s also still possible to take remote trails in Cannon Hill Park, but those who enjoy them might well regret the park’s more populist approach in recent years which means the local car parks (Russell Road / Edgbaston Road) are often full.
