Many children across the West Midlands will be saying goodbye to school, as the summer holidays kick-start this week.
For many parents in the West Midlands, that means finding fun stuff to keep the kids entertained.
Why not head down to some of our favourite West Midlands market towns for a fun day out?
We recommend you visit these towns, especially if you’ve not been before.
The towns are fantastic places to visit as school closes and summer is firmly here.
Indeed, several of them have thrown their hat into the ring to be the first-ever UK town of culture.
Take a look below at these lovely West Midlands market towns we think you should check out this summer:
9. Knowle, Dorridge and Bentley Heath
Just a train ride away from Birmingham, these villages have recently had their status upgraded to a town after long been classed as villages. They provide a countryside illusion while keeping you close to urban amenities. Offers a village/semi‐rural feel, good for a slower pace. | Mimi Ibrahim
