Solihull offers a variety of ways to spend your time here: parks in different locations, a year-round cultural programme in the town centre, historic buildings and a guided experience at the production site. The offerings differ both in their themes and formats; the Land Rover experiences also come in specific time formats. This allows you to first organise your interests and available time before selecting individual activities.

Parks in different locations

Malvern and Brueton Parks are in Solihull town centre and are Green Flag Parks. Solihull Active organises a two-mile walking route in these parks. This means there is a specific activity to enjoy in addition to the parks themselves. If you would like to include a walk in your plans, the stated distance gives you a clear guide to this activity.

Elmdon Nature Park is also a Green Flag Park; it lies on the outskirts of Solihull and is also a Local Nature Reserve. Tudor Grange Park has likewise been awarded Green Flag Park status and is conveniently located for the town centre. Taken together, these details offer a helpful comparison: Malvern and Brueton Parks are in the centre, Tudor Grange is conveniently located for the town centre, and Elmdon is on the outskirts. Green Flag status is shared by all three; Elmdon also has the designation of Local Nature Reserve. When choosing which park to focus on, you can therefore consider both its location and its designations.

Art and architectural history

The Core, a multi-purpose arts centre, is in the heart of Solihull town centre. It runs courses and workshops throughout the year in arts and crafts, singing, dance, yoga, tai chi and drama. The options range from craft and performance activities to those focused on movement. If you are looking for a cultural theme for your stay, you can consider these different types of courses and workshops alongside the historic buildings as a focus in their own right.

The Manor House on the High Street is a timber-framed building constructed around 1495 and listed as a Grade II* building. St Alphege Church is a medieval building with Grade I listed status and stained-glass windows. The two buildings highlight different aspects of Solihull’s architectural history: the Manor House’s distinctive features include its timber framing, High Street location and approximate date; the church stands out for its medieval character and stained-glass windows. If you are interested in architecture, these details help you appreciate the two places as more than just examples of history in general.

Land Rover Experience: tour or driving experience

Land Rover Experience Solihull offers a guided tour of the production site in Solihull. There are also one-hour Taster Drives, as well as half-day and full-day off-road experiences in the latest Land Rover models. The formats differ significantly in duration: a Taster Drive lasts one hour, while the off-road experiences last half a day or a full day. When planning your day, you can first decide whether you are interested in a guided tour or a driving experience, and take the stated duration into account for the driving formats.
