Birmingham: Civic Landmarks, Canal Heritage & Historic Green Estates

Birmingham grew from a medieval market town into the industrial workshop of the world, leaving behind an extraordinary tapestry of canal basins, artisan workshops, grand civic squares and leafy suburban estates. This exploration map guides visitors from the monumental cultural venues of Centenary and Chamberlain Squares to the towpaths of Gas Street Basin, the preserved benches of the Jewellery Quarter and the creative courtyards of Digbeth, before venturing outward to Jacobean halls, Victorian botanical glasshouses and the tranquil watermill that inspired J. R. R. Tolkien.
