Bournville, which is at the south end of Birmingham, is the home to Cadbury�s and Cadbury world in the famous village that was established by George Cadbury commencing in 1895. George Cadbury undertook this project not as a single-handed attempt to solve social problems within the city. His hope was to prove to political powers that good quality housing located in a green and natural environment was totally realisable and would be for the greater good of the local society.
By taking this stance, George Cadbury proved that change could be made to the attitudes of the time by practical example rather than through political lobbying.
George founded the Bournville Village Trust in 1900 as a charitable organisation that would carefully plan further development and to preserve the estate for future generations to enjoy.
Other places of interest in Bournville include the feature �Cadbury World� a must for children and chocoholics alike.
The Digbeth Tuck Trail overlooks one of the secrets to the areas early success, the canals, where many firms located themselves so they had quick and easy access to the network of canals in the area. The Tuck Trail begins on Great Barr Street, overlooking the canal system. There are many interesting buildings on this route including the old Bird�s Custard Factory and the Typhoo Tea Factory. The creators of Typhoo Tea were the Summers family who originated from the city and they began to sell their blend of tea when one of the family members claimed it eased her indigestion.
Bird�s Custard was established by the Digbeth Chemist, Alfred Bird Senior, who devised a method of producing custard without any egg�s as his wife was allergic to them.
The Jewellery Quarter is a unique conservation area within the city that has always been renowned the world over for it�s fine jewellery and it still accounts for some 40% of UK�s jewellery production.
Other places of interest include the canal system that in the 18th century had some 174 miles of navigable waterways or which some 114 still remain as navigable. Walking the canal towpaths provides a completely different perspective of the city which in some parts of the Grand Union Canal feels like you are in the country and its only when you see the Tyseley Incinerator that you are reminded that you are indeed within the city boundaries. Walk further along the canal to Acocks Green and you�ll walk past the site of the old Rover Car Manufacturing site that is a now a modern housing estate on Clay Lane.
Then there�s the very poorly publicized �Tolkein Trail� which takes in the Shire Park and Sarehole Mill plus the Moseley Bog and the Two Towers at Edgbaston Reservoir (the Edgbaston Waterworks and Perrott�s Folly).
Other places of interest in and around Birmingham include Blakesley Hall, Aston Hall, Birmingham Museum. Likey Hills, Barr Beacon with some great views over the city and then out to Clent Hills which provide views of Birmingham (looking over Birmingham University) and the Black Country.
Some other places of interest in Birmingham include the Botanical Gardens, Soho House Museum, the Castle Bromwich Hall Gardens Trust and Martineau gardens are among some of the other places of interest to visit when visiting the city.
