Mosley Park Birmingham

Birmingham is a town I have visited a lot over the 10 or 11 years.  A lot of people would roll their eyes to heaven when they hear or see any mention of Birmingham.   Huge industrial landscapes come to mind large working class tower blocks and housing estates are the normal response.  Yes in away justified back in a certain time when Birmingham was associated with heavy industrial activity.

The last 20 years has brought vast changes to Birmingham Urban landscape.   Enlightened urban development and landscape planning has an new vital into Birmingham City.  It is now a sought have event and conference centre.  Bringing much needed revenue you into the city.  Accommodation providers like hotels self-catering apartment Birmingham and serviced apartments companies.
Strangely enough I have to say I was pleasantly surprised when I discovered certain greenbelt locations in Birmingham, that have been preserved and maintained adjcent to the city centre for many years.  One such area is Edgbaston the other is Mosley in particular Mosley Park

Less than two miles from Birmingham city centre. Unaltered for over a hundred years. Eleven acres of peaceful parkland, a beautiful lake packed with fish and water fowl and surrounded by trees.

Moseley is a fantastic part of Birmingham with its farmers and arts markets, but what makes it particularly special and unique is having at its centre, the Park and Pool. This historic park, with some 300 years of history, is run by a charitable trust. The Park was originally a major part of the gardens of the Moseley Hall estate which were designed by the famous landscape gardener Humphry Repton. Towards the end of the 19th century much of the estate was being sold for house building. Realising that it was only a matter of time before this remaining part of the gardens would be built upon, a group of far sighted businessmen bought the Park and Pool in order to preserve it for the citizens of Birmingham. In 2006 a Charitable Trust was created in order to ensure that the Park is restored with a view to preserving it as a place where people can relax and enjoy themselves and children and schools can use it for educational purposes. Most important of all, the terms of the Trust ensure that it can never ever be sold. It is a green tranquil oasis that is a haven for wildlife as well as homo-sapiens. Its popularity continues to grow not only within Birmingham, but also nationally as a result of the continuing success of the Jazz and Folk festivals.  I know some excellent self-catering  accommodation Birmingham  nearby which are actually serviced apartments.
