3 days in Birmingham Itinerary

Britain's second-largest city, Birmingham was known as the City of a Thousand Trades and the Workshop of the World in the Victorian era.

Warwick Castle and Shakespeare's Birthplace will appeal to history buffs. Appreciate the collections at Blists Hill Victorian Town and Black Country Living Museum. Change things up with these side-trips from Birmingham: Cotswold Farm Park (in Guiting Power), Royal Air Force Museum Cosford (in Shifnal) and Cotswold Falconry Centre (in Moreton-in-Marsh). Next up on the itinerary: hike along Cotswold Way.
